Quick review here...
This was Heath Ledger's last movie (he died about 1/3 of the way into filming) so they got creative and finished it out using Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law. These 3 guys actually work in the way they shot it which was very interesting. The movie itself is beautiful, very neat costumes and set designs and interesting concept. It was hard to follow at times and could have used a good bit more back story but the real beauty of this movie was Heath Ledger.
Heath is really shown off in his smallish part, you can see just how good of an actor he was, the Dark Knight really had him hitting his stride and compared to the 3 others that played him only Depp rivaled in performance. I am not a huge Ledger fan but I really began to appreciate his skill in the art of acting in this movie and look forward to seeing some of his other movies that I may have missed.
The story of the movie is also a little creep especially related to Ledger's death, you will have to watch it to find out :)
I give it a Red Box rental because it isn't the type of movie everyone will like but might just be up your ally.
