You'll be different coming out than going in!

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2005)

SIN CITY is not a chick flick. Guys looking to impress a woman should keep them away from this film which is largely about rape, cannibalism and live disembowelment....not to mention the seven castrations I counted! It is a disturbing film noir that stays watchable on the strength of its leading men.......Mickey Rourke (steals the show), Clive Owen (charisma to spare) and Bruce Willis (acting his age). The heroic theme of strength of character against impossible odds and ultimate redemption are so moving that it overcomes the graphic (and often unnecessary) violence that permeates this film. With a slightly gentler touch, this could have been a classic.
If you leave this film and you are NOT disturbed........I hope the institution you have been committed to serves good food and NEVER lets you out without a chaperone!
