I enjoyed the film, like the "look" - but also was dissappointed that the stories didn't all tie together. As for Noir, I was fine seeing this as "comic-book noir." There was lots of cliche and gratuitous sex and violence, but I think that kept it true to it's genre and enabled me to laugh out loud to situations of partial decapitation and emasculation.

But as I left, I wanted to see the Coen Brother's "Man who Wasn't There" - that to me is a great contemporary Noir tale in the classic tradition.
