i like my stylish noirish stuff but only when theres a bit of substance. This film grossly lacked that. While it looked amazing it didn't have a decent enough consistent story to keep it togther. After the Mickey Rourke y it went to complete plot, whichh i thought was ok, it wen to utter shit i reckon - boring bruce wilis and dead-as-a-doornail clive owen. I thought the sound sucked too after an initial good start. The peadophile and prostitute story lines were gratuitous tosh with nothing to say at all. In the end the limp stringing of the story lines togther fell flat and the look and feel of it, while really fresh, wasn't bolstered in any way by the lack of much needed pathos and drama.
I'd like to see the style used again but give us a fucking storyline with heart as well as cool. (think kurasawa, kubrick etc)

The whole simultaneous story line thing always falls flat. I know totally different example, but Love Actually had that as well and it was crap.
As for Clive Owen, that guy's a dead fish in whatever he does. He keeps his voice monotone and doesn't change his expression and obviously thinks he's been deep and broody where as, in fact, he's just being wooden.

Love Actually is a good film!!
Kiera Knightley and Elisha Cuthbert in the same film.. That's enough for me. It was also quite moving at times.

she might not like that. It might be a strategic career-enhancing tapeworm.
Watch the credits of her film. Under dietition (sp?)you'll find kiera's pet tapeworm.

"it didn't have a decent enough consistent story to keep it togther."
it's based on 3 comic book stories. other than taking place in the sin city world, they're not related to each other in any way. so your argument doesn't hold much water.
