There is no justice without sin.
Fantastic film version of a strong artistic vision of a dark, violent, sexy version of our world.
When Xanthe and I saw this in the cinema on release, after a steady diet of kids' films, this was a massive shock to the system which left us gasping.
The visuals are gorgeous and so well realised with the limited colour palette and the stunning from above night time snow and rain shots, so iconic.
Of course it can be seen as offensive in its gender stereotyping but it's all tongue-in-cheek, no?
Awesome performance by Mickey Rourke as Marv and by Bruce Willis as cop Hartigan.
