Viewing Notes

via Netflix

Suki has used an experimental Siamese Burn device to erase most of her multiple personalities, but she’s down to two, and she’s not sure which one is really her.  This is a really well done graphic novel adaptation, and while there’s some cheese to it, like the first Sin City film, it works to the film’s advantage.  Katie Cassidy is great in the title role, and this is definitely not your typical super hero film and feels more like a sci-fi noir or thriller. It’s great seeing two Buffy alumni back on the screen together as well here.  Kind of an odd film and definitely one people are either going to love or hate.
