A truly superior action bonanza of a film! Teen film, action, tragedy, gore, comedy...this film takes them all on and more and comes up with a gold star on the other side. Brilliant script, exceptional performances, some of the best gunplay scenes I've witnessed since Hardboiled back in 1992, often breath-taking camera work, and a step into 3-D comics rendering that fits the film and puts the risible anime sequence in Kill Bill to shame.
This film is a complete gem. It's hard to file under one genre as it takes on so many different moods throughout (it certainly isn't just a comedy, despite its marketing), but the film-makers ease them together even as the film blisters along at breakneck speed. It is the pinnacle of "superhero" film-making thus far. Amazing soundtrack too!
