The first thing that hits me is the style of animation--Sleek & clean and structured.

It's nice to see someone NOT putting out the usual Asian style Anime. At first, the characters may seem somewhat thin and bland--but then not notice attention paid to eye contact, facial expressions, the slight upturns of the mouth, the cool frowns...

The Facial Expressions are THERE...but without the exaggeration of the anime face expression sets or face emoticons we now normally see like, EVERYWHERE.

And oh...I can't help it but notice: No SHOUTING/SCREAMING just because the character is excited.

The next is that I like the future this story portrays: NOT Apocalyptic. NOT Dystopian...

It's Just...the FUTURE. Like many a Future I would like to read about and imagine myself in. Space Travel is now a normal thing. People are still People. Corporations are still corporations...but GOSH...I'd like to be able to LIVE in this future.

And Robots and AI and others EVERYWHERE.

It starts off as a PI/Detective procedural... then it gets snappier...with lots of snazzy action as a conspiracy slowly unveils.

In a way, I felt chords of.'Ghost in the Shell' in the fundament of the storyline--but moving along a different, freer social tone.

But pay attention to the dialogue... Because as you may note from some other reviews: The Focus of the Story is not who you think.

When you hold this thought--The End will make sense.

Never saw the movie-- but this one grabbed me.

The acting is spot on. Everyone is fully and totally into their roles turning the old Posh vs The Gutter narrative into a witty but dangerous dance. And bringing Giancarlo back to play yet again-- a dangerous dark player on the drug scene-- ups the tempo. Between the Meth Lord, the Authorities, the Crazed cocaine Preacher and keeping his wayward brother safe,Eddie has one heck of a dance keeping clear of everyone's guns.

And the murders... are to be savored as the characters all need to be 'Saved by Jesus' the deeper it gets.

But most of all, the dialogue is PRICELESS. Sharp & Biting.

A dead Artist nobody heard of. An Art Scene with numerous, utterly ambitious players. Over the top characters and lots of greed.

Of course there would be dead bodies...

And there's John Malkovich...being John Malkovich.

Interesting. Gruesome. Colorful.

It was stormy, with lots of thunder and lightning and it was raining buckets--so I watched it...

Some posters here, low-balled it for various reasons, but I give it an '8'. Horror does not always need to be a splatterfest. Nor does Horror necessarily need to be LOGICAL or 'Make Sense'...

Good Horror can be like... 'It Just Is'

Perfect entertaining combo for a stormy Sunday night. Made me think of a two hour long Rod Serling's Night Gallery.
