Men are the walking wounded, with scarred faces and psyches. Women are trophies, to fight for, possess or smash. Noir doesn't get gnarlier than in the corpse operas of Frank Miller's graphic novels or Robert Rodriguez's ultra-vivid movie of three of them...

...audacity to commit adultery with Caleb Nichol, but lost credibility when it was revealed that she didn’t even know whose sperm it was that seeded her precious little Lindsay. So they wrote her ass off the show! And Rebecca, the ugly hippie who attempted the sin of all sins by threatening Sandy’s marriage, is hardly worth the ashes of her dead father that she tossed into the sea in the worst scene the show has yet provided...
