Good, but not great.

Rating: 8/10 (11 April 2005)

Sin City is a very unique film, but there's certainly more style than substance here. Yes, it is like a comic book come to life, no doubt. The stories are interesting but I feel many people are blinded by the style of the film, which is total eye-candy. Mickey Rourke gives the best performance in the film, and his story is the most engaging involving a man who is out to avenge the death of a hooker whom was killed with him while he slept. The other stories were good, but lack the substance of Mickey Rourke's story. This film is certainly worth seeing in the theater, which was the main reason I ventured in. Do I think it is one of the greatest films of all time? No, and after years I'm sure it will lose it's luster. However, Sin City is an entertaining way to spend two hours, that's for sure.
