It is more of a drama/ comedy/horror movie. A tragic story of a man who suffered physical and mental abuse until he snapped. Phoenix did a tremendous job and made the role his own. The end left you with questions. There was a dark grainy feel to it and we liked the music .My favorite was his dancing. It did not seem like a DC Comic movie. Which was the reason we went to see it. His laugh alone is worth the price of admission.
