I'm mainly interested in the production values, since it was posted entirely on a Mac G5 (please, no Mac/PC arguments here) and that's what I'm using for my video work.

I'm impressed with the previews. Every frame looks like it was pulled straight off the pages of a comic graphic novel, so as a stylistic exercise alone, I find it fascinating.

I've never seen the graphic novels, but this film looks quite a bit like a comic book in motion. Though I did expect a bit highre contrasts in the black and white-the cinematography was much softer than I expected.

The writing was great--very 50's film noirish--which happens to be one of my favorite genres. The Mickey Rourke character was easily my favorite. As for Jessica Alba-she's a bit underused but she doesn't seem to have nearly the screen presence that even Rosario Dawson has. She was great.
