Diamond Dogs is a cavalcade of ciches piled on top of each other with almost no attempt to make something original out of them. I'm a huge fan of seemingly generic action, sci-fi and kung fu films and comics and whatnot. An old story told well is a joy forever. It always needs to have some little twist to make it stand out: a nice aesthetic, a memorable villain, a comically dickish hero. None of that here.
I remember IP's comments about HAVN while it was running and maybe I'd feel the same way I had an Icelandic partner. But I don't. No tired, corrupt undercover cops here, just a mad mind control plan and very lush art.
HAVN.
