21st Century Film Noir Classic!

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2006)

Just incredible! Finally a comic book story which rocks! The Sin City creator Frank Miller teamed up with hot directors Robert Rodrigues and Quentin Tarantino who moved the dark but edgy comic book story to the big screen. Rodrigues even resigned himself from the Assosiciaton of film directors so that "Sin City" could have three director mentioned in the credits. "Sin City" had to been very important to it's makers.
The movie is based on the great graphic novels "The Big Fat Kill" and "The Yellow Bastard" of the Sin City-series. The movie is a fantastic way to celebrate the film noir traditions. They used a special "green screen" technique to create the Basin City. The world is wholly artificial. The movie is basically black and white but it shows hints of red, yellow and blue colors.
The movie combines a couple stories; a human-hater Marv (comeback star Mickey Rourke) is accused to have murdered the extraordinarily beautiful hooker Goldie (supermodel Jaime King); ex-photographer Dwight (Clive Owen) takes down a dirty cop and tries to cover it up; a hard boiled copper Hartigan (Bruce Willis is on a mission to save and protect the young Nancy (Jessica Alba) from the maniac child molester Yellow Bastard (Nick Stahl). The movie provides some nice supporting characters like the psychotic man-eating man played by Elijah Wood etc..
"Sin City" is brutal but gorgeous film about love, hate and revenge. It is funny and flourishes with a lot of black humor. The film is something you have to see over and over again. Absolutely brilliant! 10/10
