Triggerman.



I don't like all Walter Hill's films, which I saw, but he always perfect in directing. In every shot or little episode I see full efficiency. How located cameras and what and where music plays if it needs. Not only as director talented Hill, but also as a scriptwriter. What the most I like in him, he isn't tied to one style. He's experimenting and can simple scene turn to fantastic. Sometimes he overloads in storytelling. Triggerman is one of unknown work of this prolific man, which turned to a graphic novel by a chance.

Main hero of Triggerman isn't a character which a normal person can sympathize, but I had a strong wish to know his story. I adore to characters having a different from me view on any kind of staff. I like to argue with them. Especially when they brilliant written. This protagonist wasn't an only interesting man in this graphic novel, but also other people which he was meeting. Hill's story emerges in America's 30s, where how said the author, only in this time it could happen. Looking on pictures and reading dialogs from a first sight I’ve caught – this is Walter Hill. Not only name on cover. By pictures, you feel the directing of this man. It takes a main place in the story. In a few moments, it prefers a little bit out from realism, but this affordable for art and just look great. The story doesn't went to a backstage place and excite too. You can expect a film stamp, but always will disappoint for a good and will impress how Hill turned in this moment. Maybe not in every director’s film I see Western as said Walter Hill in one interview, but Triggerman filled of these motifs. You know, I have a like to this conception where in Prohibition era comes Old West. Hill smooth balances and not overloading as I can write for everything here. Triggerman looks alien in modern pattern world. It doesn't surprise when read in the end of the last volume a spectacular interview with the author which was telling about origin. 

Great drawings, excellent transfer of ambience of Prohibition, beautiful word. Walter Hill's film transported in the graphic novel.
