Sparks (2013)

Do not skip this movie!Low budget - not very well known, but great story, acting and soundtrack. Lets be honest the special effects are laughable at most, but i did not even care, the story and characters are interesting enough. I also loved the Noir look of this film.If you like movies like "sin city" or "kick ass" you will like this too just give it a try and do not turn it off after 15 minutes (thats when the story becomes twisted, gory and dark).I gave this movie a 7/10, the same I gave "sin city - a dame to kill for".

It is the stench of a truly terrible movie.I watched this and was so moved by it's naffness that, when I took a look on IMDb to find who the guilty parties were and I saw how this had a much higher rating than it merited I was so shocked I took the trouble to dust off my IMDb user to post a review and help redress the balance.Why is it such a turkey? Bad acting, bad dialogue, boring, terrible plot, incomprehensible storyline, poor effects, poor casting, boring, unbelievable, emotionally dead, naff action scenes, poorly choreographed fight scenes, predictable on every level, boring and boring.Arguably any (or all) of the above could be thrown at this film and they would stick.Like the Watchmen, Philip Marlow, and the extra's from Sin City all got in a lift, pressed basement, then the lift malfunctioned and they all fell to their doom resulting in a mashed up indecipherable mess at the bottom of the shaft.Watching this means losing 90 minutes of your life that you will never get back. You have been warned.

This is just my two cents and not an attempt at writing a pro review. I was ready for this movie to be a piece of crap, so I got pleasantly surprised. I think the plot was great and the costumes was corny as hell - which threw me off a bit in the beginning (that and the lead up to the main storyline which was confusing as to where we we're going). But it soon became apparent to be that i had stumbled into a old school noir movie which isn't about polished superheroes, but "normal" people trying to make a difference. It still has the usual good vs evil with a hint of romance in it, with a red line that keeps you interested throughout the film. People who say this is the worst crap they have seen must be watching only the best there is. Overall a decent flick.

Not a good movie. Please don't waste your time and money thinking about making a sequel. The film does not match with the comics plot and characters. In my opinion, it was a bad attempt to create an environment close to sin city but they failed on that approach. This is only my opinion but the film is too long and the short action scenes lacks of quality, the FX effects were poor and not convincing. Not even the performers seems to be committed to the script. I believe it was the first time I have ever seen the same sequence of images repeated over and over again. How many times should we see the images of the accident to understand the point?
