Director Zack '300' Snyder lifts the lid on graphic novelist Alan Moore's grimly alternate vision of 1985. The glory days of costumed vigilantes have been brought to a close by a government crackdown... but after one of the masked veterans is brutally murdered, an investigation is initiated. The reunited heroes - including Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman), the amoral Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and the unhinged Rorschach (Jackie Earl Haley) - set out to prevent their own destruction. But in doing so, they discover a deeper and far more diabolical plot. Dark, violent, erotic and true to the source comic, this is bloodily satisfying meat for fans and the uninitiated alike.
