Dawn one of the "Darkest Noirs "I've ever seen. Lack of sympathetic charters is a under statement .The " fights" are brutal and even through you can see the end coming , it's still a shook.
I really liked the characters in this movie, because their faults as humans are so apparent. Their undoing is strictly of their own making: pride, vanity, greed and naked ambition.
