Over rated and pretentious

Rating: 6/10 (5 October 2005)

This is by no means a 'bad film', but there is no way it deserves the coveted position of #89 (or whatever it is) on the IMDb top 250. Sure, it is inventive with the greenscreen thing, but lets be honest, a true Film Noir has to be in real surroundings, with the bleak and colourless backdrops, that actually look real.
The scrip, based almost entirely on the comic book, is true to the source material, but unfortunately doesn't transfer too well to film. Clive Owen is in no way the ideal man for the job, nor the majority of the narration.
There are many other points that emphasize my dislike for the film, but I can't be bothered to list them.
