Boy, that Brandon Routh is a real lady-killer. And in the movie Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, he’s a real lady-killer if she’s a monster and she wronged him in the past. We may not have seen much of Mr. Routh aside from his small parts in Zack and Miri Make a Porno and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but that doesn’t mean he ain’t working. Dylan Dog follows Routh as a private investigator in New Orleans who is brought back into the monster hunting game. But we don’t care about monsters. We care about New Orleans. For this feature, every day is Mardi Gras, and everywhere open containers are legal.

Some documentaries serve as a thesis, arguing for or against a given perspective. Others are critical or historical inquiries into a given incident or situation. Still others are character pieces detailing a portrait of a unique human being. It’s rare that one finds a documentary that serves all three functions, and does it well.
