The Scribbler

The Scribbler is as much about duality as it is anything else. It blends a punk comic book stylism with neo-noir staples. It takes psychological thriller elements (a little too close to the plot of Identity) and warps them into a fantastical fare. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite pull it all off. Cassidy is great as the anti-hero; almost unrecognisable from her other roles. The remaining characters are under-developed and a script that does the film no favours holds it back.

Not too bad, but sometimes chaotic and unstructured. This could have been way better with some proper directing. Though, I must admit I liked the plot.

Sketchy.

interesting psychologic thriller, has good visuals

The Scribbler ultimately doesn't take full advantage of its premise -- it raises a lot of questions and mentions a lot of topics that it doesn't really want to answer or fully explore -- but it's a stylish adaptation of a graphic novel that is certainly worth watching if you're a fan of the original work, of graphic novels in general, or just want to see a different take on the "is he/she crazy?" genre. It's weird, and I'm sure some people will outright hate it, but I had a lot of fun with it.

The cast of "Arrow", "Buffy", "The Sopranos" etc face off against a green filter. Proudly comic-booky comic book adaptation doesn't even try for any form of realism beyond the emotional one, which is somewhat let down by clunky dialogue and flat supporting characters... And yet, I kinda like how it lives completely in the comic-book version of mental illness. It makes its own sense.
