On the one hand, it's very much like "Sin City", because anything Frank Miller has a hand in is unquestionably the work of Frank Miller. The film also uses similar visual techniques. It's more over-the-top than "Running Scared", but in a different way. I'm not joking when I say that "The Spirit" is going for a sort of Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner vibe at times. As I said, it's not good, but it's so weird and wild that I kind of want to see it again. Hmm, that’s an interesting question with an odd answer.

I've read that Rodriguez wasn't around this time to "restrain" Miller. Is it more over-the-top than "Running Scared." I'm thinking I might give it a look in the future - but this isn't the year for me to gamble on it in the theatres. So how much different is this from “Sin City”?
