I've done my fair share of ripping apart film adaptations over the years, even in cases of films I enjoyed, when the changes pushed on irreconcilable. Most recent examples of this can be seen in my recaps of The Hobbit as I do a chapter by chapter read-through, paired with the movies. Combine that...
Incredible art style: I had no idea you could do this much with pure black and white. Very dark, film noir style story. Only downside is that the characters are very flat: every female is a prostitute and every male is a horrible murderer.
Fun little noir piece illustrating the best and least qualities of US graphic art.
Great.
