Comic(ally) ... interesting

No pun intended - and I had no idea this was based on a comic (or more than one?). But it does make a lot of sense - if you watch you'll understand. It is not Sin City style or anything, but the transitions and some of the visuals do really fit the bill. The acting is really good - and the effects? Also more than just good - especially if you do no mind a splash of violence/blood on your screen (no pun intended).

The movie is divided into chapters - which I reckon works fine for the story, but you'll have to be on board with it. Suspending your disbelief and all that. Crime does not always pay - how will it be here? Well when it comes to awards I reckon it did pay ... kidding aside, I was surprised when I saw how many prizes this has apparently won. More surprising that it got such a low score then, right? Well tastes you see? Everyone has their own opinion ... and you may feel that this does not deserve anything ... or you may be quite ecstatic about it ... hopefully you can sit back, relax and enjoy this for what it is.
