...heart, this is a detective story: Who killed Eddie Blake (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a.k.a. the Comedian? The main sleuth is Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley), whose shifting-inkblot mask ill conceals a violent temper and a questing spirit.

Republicans by and large see an opportunist who would say or do anything to further her political ambitions (68%) and puts her political interests ahead...
...look at United 93 as an indication for that. If you look at the last five years as a misjudgment and a mistake, you’ll look at this film as an indication as well. I wanted this film to be a kind of Rorschach test, an inkblot, that you hold up and people project their hopes and fears and fantasies onto.
