Brilliantly awesome and entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2005)

Sin City is the best comic type of action film I have ever seen. The storyline draws you in, and the characters are very interesting, not to mention well-acted and the whole production is almost perfectly directed and written. Based on Miller's graphic novels(adult comic books), the film's style is perfect, Rodriguez and Tarantino's talents are clearly visible although CGI did a great job with the effects as well, and i think Tarantino's skill is more evident in the screenplay. The film tells several stories that are sort of connected and sort of not. Benicio Del Toro, Bruce Willis, Michael Madsen, Elijah Wood and Jaime King were great in their roles. Brittanny Murphy and Powers Boothe were decent although i didn't really like Rosario Dawson or Jessica Alba much in this flick. My two favorite performances came from Clive Owen and Mickey Rourke, both were great. I thought Michael Duncan Clarke and Nick Stahl were a bit wasted and Josh Hartnett was not good in his limited time on screen, but other than that this film is perfect, and a few mediocre performances by inexperiences young stars doesn't lower my perfect rating of it. 10/10 #43 on my list of all-time favorite films
