This movie isn't great, but it is definitely above average. The director himself said it was a B-movie, and it felt like it. Except for the fact that I was completely enthralled by the story from start to finish. Sure the animation was not up to the quality that this film deserves, but I think anything too "real" would've made it too serious. As long as you come in and expect a borderline satire/cliché take on the entire film noir genre, you are going to have a blast. The twists (at one point I was convinced it was a battle of different personalities) and creepily explicit scenes at the end will alone be worth your while.
Now, the bad: The film runs a tad too long on some scenes. Particularly, the grave digging scene. I wasn't sure why we needed to see the hero digging for five minutes. The overall animation is sub par if you are used to the likes of Pixar. At some points, this movie looks more like a student's CGI demo.
