About

You might enjoy this if you want a dark, campy period crime story with lots of violence and a heightened tone, somewhat in the vein of Dracula or Fear Itself; Not for you if you want historical accuracy or subtle storytelling.

Pros: pulpy entertainment; strong lead presence; stylish period look | Cons: very fictionalized; repetitive plotting; thin supporting characters
