Sparks .... an odd film .... and I understand why many people trashed it ... but I loved it !
It's like watching a 21st Century independent film noir interpretation of mid 20th Century Hollywood grade B or C studio film noir. And they did a good job of it too. If you have any experience watching the old studio police drama's or hero flicks you will understand.
All was thought out thoroughly from sets to costumes and accessories (like the hypodermic syringe) even the camera angles. What I liked most was the actors delivery of the script. Somebody did their homework on this style of movie!
And there is a distinct message at the end! Just because someone or some organization presents themselves as being an authority doesn't make them good people. We see this in the fundamentalist evangelical Christian minister who murders many and later when the policeman who tricks Sparks into committing a crime!
