One of a kind movie, if you like that kind of movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 2005)

Sin City started out as a series of graphic novels, and despite their unconventional stories and artwork, they made a massive impact on the comic industry. THe same has now occurred in the making of the Sin City movie. There is no other movie quite like it. It's not for everyone. There is violence in this movie that many people would find repulsive. THere is a style of very dark humor in this movie that to some may just seem awful. But it fits with the movie and once you accept the darkness of the movie the humor will follow. THe story is a little more complicated. Everything takes place in "Basin City," a Sin City that seems to follow a twisted form of Murphy's law that any thing that can go wrong, will go wrong. And many things go wrong in sin city usually ending in death. There are a number of different stories taking place throughout the movie, nonetheless, each story is exceptional in it's own way. THe acting is an amalgam of Hollywood and of any film noir, but the fight scenes are engrossing (especially since bullets seem to do nothing but slow you down a little). Like I said before, this movie isn't for everyone, however the style is in a category all it's own and for those who enjoyed the comics, the Sin City movie will far surpass every expectation you had from the books and leave you wanting more.
