maybe they should have let rea write the script - i'm sure it would have turned out better, and alan moore wouldn't have had to remove his name from what he apparently perceived as even worse an adaption than 'script from hell' and 'league of extraordinarily stupid additional characters'.
you can call me churlish
, but i agree with moore - "imbecilic script"
those who don't know the graphic novel can still enjoy an action flic with some hint of its genius left intact, but moore fans beware, lower your expectations or it'll ruin your day like it did mine: i hated this movie, from start to end, stephen rea excepted. (and the beth orton song on the jukebox...)
ah yes, v is for verbose.
