This movie plays out like a graphic novel with a great first half, a kung-fu kicking Indian side kick and a mysterious beast that roams around munching maidens. It's dark, it's cool, but then the mood is disturbed by some COMPLETELY gratuitous special effects that spoils the "this really could have happened" image in your mind. Some nice reveals in the end, but one was predictable if you paid attention. Speaking of reveals, there's plenty of gratuitous nudity too, but who's complaining?
