Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2005)

This movie is amazing!! Technically speaking this may be one of the most amazing movies I have seen, ever!! Everything about this movie I love, from the technical aspects, to the characters, to each of the stories, (The movie is actually three stories with two shorts to open and close it) I bought this DVD and I have watched it for almost a week straight and I cannot get enough of it. It is so far the best movie of the year-in my opinion- and the first movie of this year that has left me breathless (I will admit I have not seen Crash yet and people say that was superb) What we see on screen is a comic book brought to life. Robert Rodriquez used the actual comic books by Frank Miller for storyboards. On the credits he says he shot and cut the movie there is no writing credits, he just pulled the movie from the pages of the comic books.
Is this movie violent? Yes. But you could not have it any other way. The name of the movie is Sin City and the comic books are dark and violent and to do this movie any other way would not give the comic books justice. I have not read any of the comic books but I plan on buying the ones that the movie was based off of.
See this, enjoy it, become a part of the world.
A word of warning...it can be very graphic and it crosses a few borders such as the scene where That Yellow Bastard whips Nancy Callahan, but that is what it was made to do. Don't watch if you are easily offended and cannot handle violence, otherwise absolutely brilliant!!!
