i think most of the reviewer on this site must have see a different film to me a this be just a lame film noir tarted up with the odd mention of hawksmoor and crowley ( mispronounce in the film ) . the alan moore or from hell comparison be totally unjustified and except in the rather simplistic think it much clever than it be end . the film be far too dark almost everything be shoot in red and black the character be dull and the story predictable . i have high hope for this a a genuinely uneasy and different brit flick ( hell just give me anything that doesn not have gangster ) but all the occult stuff be just window dress for what actually a very straightforward film . yes and it ape the mise en scene of from hell dabbles with it theme of cyclic time and even have a lead character who could be constantine from the hellblazer comic but it have none of the sophistication of alan moore writing . like i say and it wasn not lousy while it just wasn not a patch on how it have be advertise .
