An absolute masterpiece in terms of not just the 'Crime' genre but everything about it!

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2012)

Sin City is right up there alongside epic crime movies such as Dark Knight, Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas as well as many other classic crime tales. There is something that I love about Sin City that I love in only one other film, and that is in Pulp Fiction. Despite the fact that each tale of Pulp Fiction connects to one bigger tale, Sin City doesn't.
What I love about Sin City is every bit of acting by everyone. All the stories were just brilliantly put to screen and some of the better adaptations I've ever seen. Sin City is further brilliant from the superb dialogue and the memorable characters in it, such as the Yellow Bastard, Kevin and Marv. The casting was just superb. There is nobody better to play someone like Hardigan's character than Bruce Willis himself, nobody better to play Kevin than Elijah Wood.
To me, the most fascinating story of the three was Marv's investigation as to who killed the woman who he loved. I absolutely loved that story line and found it the most moving of them all. I also enjoyed the other stories but most notably the Yellow Bastard.
Another positive aspect about the film is the use of black and white to make it look more professional and to fit in brilliantly with the comic book. I found that very interesting and I must say, it works perfectly well in this film.
The use of voice overs in this film were brilliant. it really was done well when it came to that. At those moments, we were able to take the form of the character's conscience and look deeper into those characters. For eg, when Hartigan is attempting to save Nancy from rape, we hear his conscience say things like "C'mon old man. Get up" and so on. This also helps us further understand the characters we are given and actually remains successful.
Overall, this is one of the best and most badass films I've seen.
