it almost plays out as a combination of Blade Runner and The Third Man but when you´re watching such a breakthrough in style it´s a bit disappointing not to see the screenplay take similar ambition Still wonderful – one of the best looking films in recent memory topping Sin City in style; and not just as a standalone effort – this is much closer to Frank Miller´s graphic comics than Robert Rodriguez´s film and website in this browser for the next time I comment About | Contact | Terms | Privacy
