Top Stuff!

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 2005)

I have just left the cinema. I feel a wide range of emotions. All of these emotions, however, are positive. What a film! The best way to describe this film is a black & white meeting between Batman and all Quentin Tarantino films. The way the film is delivered, you really get the feeling that it stays true to the comic book. Most of the graphics are very cartoony and some of the violence is occasionally over-the-top, which is what makes you feel like you're watching a very, very violent comic book come to life. There is an unreal amount of blood. However, the blood doesn't always come out on the screen as red which, in a way, adds to the disturbance. The acting in the film isn't the finest, but it doesn't need to be. The directing is superb and overall I left the cinema feeling like I had witnessed a new era in film.
