3. Is a film adaptation on a series
of neo-noir comics by Frank Miller.
The film noir style showcases
the crime thriller in a gritty, hard hitting manor.
The representation of characters is
exaggerated throughout the film,
for example the prostitutes are perceived
as being dangerous, carrying numerous
weapons and using them to incur fatal injuries
on their rival mercenaries.
The trailer presents the film to the quality
that you would expect, with timing matched to
music and cutting to animation shots,
reminiscent to the graphic novel.
