In this oddball thriller, Mouse, a comic book artist by day and burlesque dancer by night, enlists the help of her sidekick Ugly to track down her missing friends. What follows is a rabbit hole of gut-wrenching discoveries filled with corruption and real-life monsters.
If there is any justice, Door Mouse will garner the attention it deserves for being a well-defined narrative brought to life effectively and efficiently by a talented director whose imagination and creative drive become more evident with each scene.
Door Mouse isn’t exactly noir for the ages, and it has story problems. But it moves, and as played by Law, Mouse is a dead-pan heroine I’d like to see again, backed by a bigger-budget.
Despite all its flaws, Door Mouse remains an interesting cinematic experiment. And we must commend Jogia for his devotion to comic book language.
The comic book connecting scenes work, and the violence, when it comes, is a shocking contrast to the low-energy/low-heat movie surrounding those moments.
In the 23rd century, a former special forces operative helps a mysterious woman who holds the key to saving Earth from a cosmic evil.

In an apocalyptic future, two rebels join forces.
A failed stand-up comedian is driven insane, turning to a life of crime in chaos in Gotham City.
When not participating in an underground fight club and wearing a gorilla mask, Kid thirsts to avenge his mother's death.
