The Best Graphic Novel Transition

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2006)

I absolutely love this movie. It is less of a movie and more of a graphic novel on film. The gritty underworld of Basin City from the Graphic Novels is translated perfectly onto film. The otherworldly characters are brought to life brilliantly. I know some complain about the cheesy dialog, graphic violence, and overt sex, but believe it or not, its all part of the story. But I must warn those of you who can't take much violence, you probably will not like this film. It runs of death and gore. In all the story lines that go into the film the protagonist must literally kill his way up the criminal food chain to discover whats really going on. I still suggest you see the film, but be prepared, and don't watch on a full stomach.
This film represents the next step in the Film Noir genre and its both a step forward and a look back, technology goes forward, while the acting goes back to those great early films that invented the Genre.
