nothing but visual

Rating: 3/10 (4 April 2005)

For artistic execution, Sin City is top notch. For plot, character, continuity and theme...well, it would have been nice to include these. Any woman (or man) should be offended by the film's portrayal and objectification of women. They are either damsels in distress or prostitutes. This scantily clad gang of prostitutes perpetuates a ridiculous image of women whose power is attained only in a herd-like detachment from society. Male characters are similarly stereotypical and flat -- brutish, violent, sex-driven, all the old clichés. The dialogue sounds like it was written by a 17 year-old high school student. The violence is inventive but pointless. Save your money.
