Trueblood on HBO

In order to get to the bottom of multiple gangland murders, Kirihara gets all dolled up and mingles with the highest ranks of the local mob, courtesy of a childhood friendship with the bosss daughter, Alice, who shares a weighty secret with Kirihara.

The epic graphic novel by Frank Miller (Sin City) assaults the screen with the blood, thunder and awe of its ferocious visual style faithfully recreated in an intense blend of live-action and CGI animation. Retelling the ancient Battle of Thermopylae, it depicts the titanic clash in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his massive Persian army. Experience history at swordpoint. And moviemaking with a cutting edge. MPAA Rating: R ©
