Feels like Sci-Fi version of L.A. Confidentials

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2009)

Yes, it does have a noir x superheros x sci-fi feel. That is obvious. What is not obvious it could have been better served (audience, novel, story) with more on the editing floor.
Have not seen the graphic novel but heard other then a boat/ocean subplot opted out, much is same. For how it is already, it has an other worldly, philosophical feel arleady. The movie pauses at some point, moves at others - the action bits. And maybe explains just too much at the end.
Would have prefer more pauses, more symbolic and meta-physical 'feel' or retelling of the story. And leave out some of the 'plot'-point, explanation bits. Technically well done, but not emotional satisfying for me.
