A breath of fresh air

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2005)

Sin City is a fresh film. Most action for the past five years has been hugely lacking in depth, style and originality. I think sin city holds all these factors. The visual depths of the film are astonishing, Rodriguez has managed to perfectly portray the pages of Sin City into the a movie. More importantly than being a great action film, it is by far the best comic/graphic novel movie so far. Spiderman and x-men were good films, but all relied on over the top action sequences involving tornadoes etc. whilst sin city uses far more stylised and decisive action. More importantly, it sticks to the pages of the books. The plot is multi-strand allowing for the audience to keep interest and the characters, most the acting and of course our favourite Jessica Alba all contribute to making the film such a success.
