Glossy and energetic with primary colour contrasts and more noir influence than comic-book vigilantism. Segura and Gallagher seem proud of themselves for introducing a hard-boiled female drunkard, but the characterisation is wholly one-dimensional, the narrative over-expository (no matter if presented as voice-over).
