Looks kinda sorta cool. I just hope it lives up to the "spirit" of Will Eisner's work, no pun intended, ha ha.

Not sure I understand. Why are there particles everywhere? Is it supposed to be snow, and if so, where's the snowfall on the ground? The rooftop wire-work is really really bad, like a white guy eating chow mein with a fork. The look is just Sin City. The music and tone are completely ripped off from The Untouchables.

Miller needs to learn about editing, these shots feel too cellular. What happened to "good drama is good drama?"

Only worth a torrent.

The music is temporary. It is directly from The Untouchables. They didn't "rip it off". The movie is over six months away. It isn't finished yet. The music probably hasn't even been written yet.

I didn't see any particles.
