Dark, violent yet humorous, the nearest American has ever got to Japanese Manga

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2005)

it is a strange weird comic book adaption of a set of graphic novels by Frank Miller (he's done batman stuff in the past) which i have never read... anyhow, this is a dark set of stories which loosely overlap in a place full of hardened prostitutes and criminals (and heroes who don't seem to die easily). Very violent in parts, although due to it being in black and white mostly the violence doesn't come over as graphic as it could be... Its the nearest that America has ever got to Japanese Manga i guess..
But would i recommend it? yes and no... not one to take the Mrs, but if there is nothing else on then it is worth a push especially as there are loads and loads of great looking women in the film... i'll give it 7/10.
