I think people are forgetting it is based off a graphic novel. A French one to be exact. So it kinda plays out like a graphic novel. I never read the novel but the movie definitely had the feel of one. Believe it or not the movie kinda reminded me of Sin City. Nowhere near as good but it was never meant to be. I don't know how old the graphic novel is but if it is old, then wouldn't the clichéd stuff make sense? Either way I enjoyed the film. It is escapism as Stallone has said. It was not supposed to win any awards. They say it was a disappointment in the box office but I don't think it was necessarily because it was a bad movie but because it didn't have a real great marketing strategy so not that many people even knew about it and therefore didn't go see it.
