I think I liked it

Rating: 7/10 (5 April 2005)

To start, I don't really watch a lot of television, or go to that many movies. I'm a movie renter, skip the commercials. In the 2 hours max that I sit in front of a television per week, I stumbled across the trailer for Sin City. It looked pretty action packed and full of energy, so I thought I'd give it a go at the real theatre. I agree with the previous poster about the artistic talent (both actors and presentation) making this movie different, but the straight up killing is what I enjoyed. Granted, nowadays pretty much all movies have killing in them. That or sex. And yes, this movie has both. It's the way that the kills happen that makes this movie stick out. Or is it the way the women are dressed as they blast bullets into bad guys with no regrets? Or is that part of the way the kills happen? Perhaps it's the way the kills seem so un-un-real? And yes, I meant un-un-real. On one hand, death happens very easily and fast. On the other, death is only an illusion. Perhaps it's about sex then, there were quite a few topless women throughout this movie. No, No, it's about the killing. The fact that it does capture the \ comic book / \ cartoonish / \ fantasy / mood only gets you wanting more. Or does it grasp you into the mindsets of the killers' confusion that quirks your brain to want to know what happens next simply for the fact of satisfying your innate sense to hunt?
