A power-house of a film, simply brilliant. So good, you'll pinch yourself!

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2007)

"Sin City" is a modern day classic. Stylish, beautifully crafted, with an all-star cast and action scenes galore, this is a terrifically entertaining movie that takes Miller's tales and puts them well and truly on the big screen in a faithful and successful way.
From the moment the film started, I was glued, awestruck, to my seat. "Sin City" looks beautiful, its pace is spot-on, and there's a real hook with the characters and plot. I didn't want the film to end - I've not had this much fun viewing a film since "Pulp Fiction".
There's so much talent in this film, it's difficult to single out individual performers. Mickey Rourke's Marv is perfect casting. Watching this movie, you feel he was born to play this role. It's superb to see Rourke back on the silver screen despite his features being near-impossible to recognise.
"Sin City" has quite a high gore quotient and will appeal to those who like their comic-book violence splattered all over the screen. There are some terrifically over-the-top sequences and genre fans will be in their element watching this movie again and again.
As near perfect as a comic-book adaptation will ever be. 10 blazing stars out of 10.
