Illustrated Novel
The high rating is because this film is true to its genre. Highly graphic, surrealistic, illustrated novel [comic book]. It combines special effects with well thought out traditional cinematic styles. Heavy use of B/W and dark images. The acting and directing are flawless. This is a movie you will want to sit through several times. The plot is unexpectedly intricate, and the visual realizations are especially rich in detail once you get past the gore part.
While comic book like in appearance, it is not a show for children. It is a slasher through and through. It deals with corrupt police, political and religeous figures. The heros are shameless killers.
This is a performance that is best viewed on DVD, uninterupted, unedited and without commercial breaks, in the comfort and safety of your home.
