Joker: Marginal City · review

★

3 /10

Joker is a special forces super-cop, able to shape-shift between man and woman at will. Along with his cop buddy, they are investigating a series of unusual crimes in the city where the hearts of victims have been cut out. Soon they are battling up against a rogue android creation that yearns for the one thing it cannot have. And if that confuses you, then you are not alone. Clocking in at just over half an hour, there's not a lot of time to really develop all the twists in the plot. And not a lot oftime to build up the characters, either, other than to ratchet up the strange sexual tension with Joker.

And yet at the same time, despite not enough time, it also seems like time drags as you are watching this. Probably because I couldn't get invested in the characters or the story, so it was like, yeah, whatever, let's get on with it.

It doesn't help with how corny it can get at times, either. At one point there's a prostitute victim lying in an alleyway, blood everywhere because her heart is cut out. And yet, her mouth is wordlessly flopping open and closed like a fish out of water as one cop shows compassion and the rest of them stand around all bored-like. ALL THE WHILE a totally inappropriate, upbeat poppy tune is running in the background, as if to mock the dying woman. Ugh.

Just avoid this one. Not worth the effort to figure it out.
