Daron Aronoffsky is one of the best filmmakers alive. He makes bleak films that make you cringe yet are beautiful (for the most part), now he gives us his "fun" film. Yes, it is fun, and the trailers make it look very Guy Richie, and it is st times, but this has the Arronoffsky stamp on it. The characters are tortures with trauma, they live like shit and there are some genuine depressing moments but ultimately this is his making a quirky action film and nailing it on every level. The characters and acting, the stunts and action, the plot and violence. The gritty NYC setting of 1998 works great here and the punk rock nature carries it on.
