Getting There

So this was way more campy than I’d expected… but if viewed as an homage to Will Eisner and his original comic from the 1930s (1940s?) when that style of humor was prevalent, then Frank Miller did a great job. Hey – where else are you going to get to hear Samuel L. Jackson quip, “Come on, toilets are ALWAYS funny!”?

The story is entertaining and it’s filmed like a live action comic. If you found Sin City enjoyable, you’ll probably like this one.
