Perfect adaptation

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2005)

I have read all of Frank Millers Sin City books, several times each. I went in and was very critical about this movie. Yes I would have loved to see the scene where Hartigan fantasizes that he has the strenght of Hercules, but other that than the move was perfect. Marv moved the way you figured he would in the book. Dwight was as calm and cool as you hope he would be, and Hartigan as tortured. Yes I swear I could even smell the Yellow Bastard! Perfect! I especially loved watching the first chapter of the Hard Goodbye on screen. Marv busts through the door and makes a run for it, it was like watching the pages come to life. I never would have imagined Mickey Rourke for this role, and I was afraid he would look cheesy...NO WAY, he is right on. He was Marv and will always be Marv for me. Clive Owen was a great Dwight too. I pray for some sort of Oscar on this one!
