"I love hit men.

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2008)

No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad".This is one of the greatest lines in the movie and one of the greatest movies ever made.It's just perfect in every way.Let me start by saying that I'm a huge fan of the Sin City comics since 1998 when I first read THE HARD GOODBYE.Frank Miller is a genius at what he does.All his work is amazing.BATMAN:YEAR ONE,THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS,DAREDEVIL:THE MAN WITHOUT FEAR and 300 are all great.That's why I'm so pleased with this movie-it's the most perfect comic book adaptation ever.It sticks right to the source.Robert Rodriguez was obviously the perfect choice for the director.He shows great respect for Miller's work and transports it's unique visual style on the big screen.The casting is perfect.When I first heard that Bruce Willis was playing Hartigan I was a little skeptical since Bruce wasn't old enough for the role but the end result was great as Bruce nailed the role.My favorite character however(in the comics and movie)is Marv Almighty.Mickey Rourke just blew me away with his performance.This is one of those cases when you can say someone was born to play a certain role.Absolutely stunning performance by Mickey.Be aware that the movie is exactly like the comic which means that there is a lot of violence.Jackie Boy and his gang die in the most disturbing ways,people are shot,stabbed and blown to pieces so be warned.But the violence isn't something the movie can go without.It's an important part of the comic so it must be present here too.If you like masterpieces this movie is for you.
