What happens

Jack Falls is a 2011 British independent feature film starring Simon Phillips, Jason Flemying, Dexter Fletcher, Martin Kemp, and Tamer Hassan, and the third installment in the Jack Says Trilogy. It is based on the graphic novel of the same title by Paul Tanter, and follows on from the films Jack Says and Jack Said. The movie is a contemporary film noir shot in high-contrast black-and-white with splashes of colour particularly reminiscent of the Robert Rodriguez film Sin City. The film won an award for best action film at the 2011 London Independent Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
