Well I saw this last night and was pleasantly surprised...
...No scratch that. Pleasant is not a word to assign to this movie.
I've seen the trailers and read the reviews so going into a movie filmed in what seemed like gimmicky black & white (plus colour!) and cliche scripting I wasn't expecting anything more than the odd bit of ultra violence beaded onto a long string of boredom.
Wrong!
It's always, unremittingly and consistantly ultra violent. Dames get into trouble and men with an honor code doing the only thing they know get into even more trouble.
The end (Thats pretty spoiler free!)
This is hard boiled and sickeningly satisfying. Frankly I loved every minute of it.
