A mad brushstroke of digital film-making that is risqué enough to be considered bold.

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2010)

Sin City is a film noir based on Frank Miller's graphic novel series of the same name. The story is about three tough guys in depraved Basin City who try to save the women they love.
The film is one of the truest transfers of comic-book to film, a ferociously stylised piece which successfully creates its own pulp universe. Still, it's a singularly repellent one, in which the women are prostitutes across the board, and the violence is unredeemed by any underlying humanity. Sin City gathered particular recognition for its unique coloring procession, which rendered most of the film in black and white but retained or added coloring for select objects.
