Ascension
Enter The Hard Boiled World Of THE PERFECT SLEEP ...

Yes, I’m a sucker for a good noir and new international production The Perfect Sleep looks to be a good one, an out of time film loaded with hard gun men and beautiful, dangerous women ...
In a timeless city, a man with no name returns to the violent, brutal domain of assassins he left ten years before – back when they dubbed him The Mad Monk for his disregard for his own life and his intense devotion to one woman, Porphyria; a beautiful, luminescent woman; the girl he grew up with; the love of his life; the one thing he has ever wanted; the one thing he can never have.
There is no discernible reason for him to come back to this ruthless city, save one. She still lives here, she is in danger, and he – a man gifted in the art of killing – may be the only one who can save her. Waiting for him are deadly men who would like nothing more than to see him die a painful death. Standing at their forefront is the formidable Nikolai, the man who raised him and just might be his father.
The trailer for this is a truly impressive piece of work, you’ll find it in the Twitch Player below the break.

Gotta love the Third Man Score used to set the tone for this trailer.

I too am a big sucker for noir, this looks really exciting.

To me, tone-wise (and in noir, tone accounts for much!!) this is sort of like Miller’s Crossing meets Le Pacte des loups.

There are some nice visual set-ups in there, hope they’ve got a strong story and characters to go along with the dramatic visuals.It would be a shame if they just trot out the usual noir tropes and don’t do anything interesting with them. BRICK was a great little surprise last year and I’m always looking for someone to juice up those noir cliches and turn out something fresh.

That looks like it’s gonna be a blast! And it’s got the guy from Pit Fighter!
