The Scribbler only gets three stars from me for the way of filming. That wasn't bad, with some nice shots. The overall makeup and costumes was also not bad so credits for those who did that job. But for the rest there isn't much good to say about The Scribbler. It all begins promising and intriguing but the further you get into the story the more you realize it's not going to be great at all. The end part is definitely the worst part. It's like they ran out of inspiration and just made up a quick ending. The cast is about okay but nothing great either. I was glad when this movie ended. The end couldn't come fast enough for me. I read somewhere on here that this could become a cult movie. I guess that reviewer would fit in this movie full of lunatics because one thing is sure and that is that The Scribbler will never become a cult movie.

So much contra's and not that many pro's and I can understand why. It's not your typical graphic novel based flick. There aren't that much of over the top effects. Shows that it isn't a multi million Hollywood production so if that isn't a problem then it's worth a pick up.I can't go into the story because I would spoil a lot but it's a dark story that doesn't reveal that much, for me at the end I was left with a lot of questions but that could be me. Still, there isn't that much of action but when it does, especially at the end, the fight scene it's all well done. I did like the acting and I know a lot have problems with Katie Cassidy (main lead Suki) but here she really has a make-over. Most people will know her from Gossip Girl but as Suki she has a sexy look and even isn't afraid to show it all. If you are into flicks like Sin City (2005) or Sucker Punch (2011) then this is going to be your thing, but if you think it's a Marvel flick then leave it for what it is.

This movie definitely has some stuff going for it, but for my tastes it's a little too strange. I'm a guy that doesn't like strangeness in his movies, that much, but if you're the type that does, maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did.There are some cool characters. The acting is alright. There's a lot of "crazyness". There are some action sequences, unfortunately they aren't as cool as they should have been. The effects are OK. We're not talking sky high budgets here, but it looks alright.All in all it was just a little too tiring for me. Based on a graphic novel, maybe it also works best as just that.

Seriously, or not: A young man lives alone with a bunch of slightly deranged beautiful babes, whom he bangs at their leisure. We're definitely in a fantasy world. Give some leeway to the believability of the setting - an empty, derelict, unsupervised tower housing the people I described - and what you'll really get is a very atmospheric tale.I find The Scribbler very Korean in its visuals and coolness, very Dickian in its portrayal of the confused heroine. The young main actress, K. Cassidy, is perfect and carries most of the film on her little shoulders, nicely supported by G. Dillahunt and G. Gershon. The rest of the cast is uneven, but acceptable.At some point, the film turns into a more casual, action-oriented romp, losing some of its appeal along with some of its technical qualities. Still, it was cool enough and short enough to keep me watching, if less enthusiastically.Watch The Scribbler if you like your paranoia sexy.
