the film ultimately fails because of it's extreme negativity. The pursuing cop that seems to chicken out. The brutal and unpunished slaying of the girl (related, perhaps, to the previous officer inactivity). I'll let someone else supply more examples.

Naw, it fails ultimately because the world the characters inhabit is no more believable than the one in 'The Hitcher' with Rutger Hauer, a film NCfOM uncomfortably parallels. To its credit in the latter law enforcement actually showed up when people walked the streets with firearms or played bumper cars downtown. Film craft of a very high order torpedoed by a combination of taking its mundane moral concepts too seriously and a setting from a comic book planet.

in a nice neat package, some don't. the dark vision and the ambiguity are pluses in my book.
