Watch any frame of Sin City and you don't have to imagine anything.

Rating: 7/10 (3 March 2007)

All the colors and violence are laid on thick for a good reason, to cover the thread bare plot and the occasionally silly dialogue. But does it really matter? This is a wild and noir experience that is the best hybrid of a graphic novel and a film that I have ever seen. It may be over the top, but you can't take your eyes off of it. One of the biggest attributes is the stunning all star cast. The stand outs are Clive Owen, Rosario Dawson, and Mickey Rourke. Clive Owen could easily star in a modern noir with his deep voice and troubled looks, Rosario Dawson gets to be the bad girl with a pair of handcuffs and mohawk, and Mickey Rourke steals the show as the psycho Marv. He chews into the role and personifies the movie as a whole. Sometimes ugly, sometimes funny, always mesmerizing. Like it or not, it's a unique experience.
P.S. Exactly how many men in this movie lost their private parts? Eww.
