The opening shots are a little long, seems almot too 'Music Video' ish ... kind of long pointless shots to just match along with the soundtrack. It'd be nice if you would have touched up the levels a little bit so the bright areas popped a little more instead of having it all very bland.

The driving shot looks great though.

This could have been cut down A LOT and been a much better movie. Some parts are just complete blackness. There's a lot of good shots within it, but a lot of long dragging shots between those.

Great film! Some wonderfully lit shots, a nice mix of Max Payne and Sin City. The gunshot window scene was particularily notable.

Hah, wait a second this IS Sin City!

The first half moves along very well. Once it hits the mid point however it seems to stall out a bit. The narration may slow down or something like that.

All the shadowy shots are excellent - I like the fake sky at the end as well, and the music fits wonderfully. A terrific entry, hope to see more from you guys!!

Typically I think of film noir happening at night, so I think by shooting it during the day you lost a lot of the dramatic effect you could have had.
