What is it about and who stars in it?

-----

Another reason why people may find this movie hard to get into and not interesting is because it is narrated the entire way through. Each character as it is going through their story narrates around 70% of it. This can get tedious to watch for some people who would prefer to see the action rather than hear what is going on in the characters head. For me the narration is an integral part of the story and really makes the film as excellent as it is. I like it as you can really feel what the characters are going through and because you literally know what they are thinking then you get into the movie more and their actions make a lot more sense.

The story with Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba is a touching one. Hartigan is an old cop who saves Nancy from a terrible fate when she was younger. Throughout the years they both do not forget about each other and their story shows a touching bond. I like this story because it really shows how if you put yourself out there then the smallest thing will make a difference. Bear in mind that some things that I say about the stories may seem confusing but I don't want to give anything away and you will understand exactly what I mean when you see the film.

The third story with Clive Owen is a very interesting one. Brittany Murphy plays Shellie very well as a sassy character that is scared of Jackie but also tries to hold up her own attitude well. Dwight is an ex con who has a new face and cannot stand to see how Jackie treats women. Old Town is a place where the women rule and the men just do not mess with them and believe me they are great. This story is quite sickening with violence so not for the faint hearted.

Every actor in this film is a well established actor so do not worry about bad acting in this film. Each character is played to the most and utterly believable. Some of the scenes though do look a bit comic book like so don't be shocked when you see people getting hit and then surviving, it is a comic book adaptation after all where everybody is a superhero in their own special way.

It is good to note that the entire film was shot in front of a green screen which you do see a bit of in the special feature. Now honestly this is one film I would have loved to work on because the outfits look fabulous and it looked a lot of fun to make. I especially like the way they portray the cars as moving.

I think this movie is excellent and although I have only had it a couple of weeks and have already watched it more than once, I could actually sit down and watch it again. The only complaint that I do have about the DVD is the lack of special features. There is just a behind the scenes documentary which is very interesting to watch but only lasts around fifteen minutes. I think they could have done a bit more with this and was a bit disappointed. Overall though this is a fantastic DVD of a great film which I am not surprised that it was a big hit.
