Title: Great images, horrible noir.
Review: The cinematography of this film is amazing. Unfortunately, that is the only good thing the movie has.The writing is horrible. The voice over tells a choppy full of holes story over a two hour span that could of been conveyed in 5 minutes. The characters are all the definition of one dimension. They could each be summed up in a short blip on a single index card. The actors try to make up for the lack of substance by adding dramatically fake emotion to cliche card board cut-outs that feel out of context.If you took about 20 images from the movie and hung them in an art museum, I'd say they were great. As a movie though, it feels like a film school student's best attempt to get a C.
