I really enjoyed the premise of the film, a modern day detective story with a heavy dose of noir. But, if you've read the plot description, a good portion of the film may have been ruined. What also stands against it is the uneven animation.
At times the animation is superb and I felt captivated by it but at other times it seems that it emulated the type of bad computer graphics that abounded in the early days the form: characters that lose human expression and objects that don't seem to interact well together. Examples would be a character not properly gripping a shovel and one character's flowing hair moving unimpeded THROUGH another character's arm.
For the most part I enjoyed the story, and loved the twists and turns of the plot. But at other times some elements seemed too far fetched or over-the-top. Without revealing too much, let me just say that the helicopter is a prime example.
I rated the movie a 5 out of 10. It had its good marks and its poor ones. The animation often took me out of the movie but the plot twists kept me watching.
