Violent comic book adaptation

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2007)

Sin City is an adaptation of a comic book series by Frank Miller. There are multiple stories, each with a different cast. Bruce Willis plays a cop who tries to save a young girl from a child molester. In another segment, Mickey Rourke is determined to find who killed his lady.
The film is in black and white except for red blood and some other colors.
The film is full of graphic violence. People are shot, stabbed, women are punched and slapped. Everyone ends up with faces that are beaten to bloody pulps. One character, the nasty child molester, gets his head cut off.
There are no moral values, no rewards, no souls, no human beings in the film. Every character is just a comic book character. It's a cinematic comic book, that's all.
The film is visually stunning but mind numbing in its violence. Sin City is a completely corrupt vision of a city, without hope, without soul. It's pretty much a Hell.
Not to my taste because I just don't like movies with tons of violence, no redeeming characters and where the main idea seems to be to see how many ways a human body can be mutilated. Too bad. I like Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke. But watching this is like watching bloody, heavyweight fights from ringside. It gets awfully messy.
