Looking for an example of a movie based on a comic book that isn't about a superhero? The recently released crime drama "The Kitchen" is a great example. 

Does the film carry over elements of comic book storytelling despite it's less conventional story? Does the film adapt the eight issue mini-series in a faithful way? Or does it improve on the source material?

To avoid SPOILERS for "The Kitchen", skip over 40:27-58:35 of the episode.
