Wooohooooooooo, at last a mainstream neo-noir s*x and violence flick!

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2006)

Sin city was a major hit, some may say its all style over substance but this is neo film noir making at its big budgeted best and its very OK to be ALL about style in a movie like this. All the characters in this comic book movie are non-sympathetic, everyone is out to get each other and look after themselves and sex lingers on the surface always.
The composite cartoonish imagery is like Dick Tracy brought up to date, with the violence and smelly atmosphere turned up to number 11.
The direction is great, some of the dialog is clunky, but I found that to add to the charm and not to take away from it, also the the structure owes a lot to pulp fiction, and old pulp type movies in general.
Quite violent but gets away with it because of the cartoon qualities (LOL).
Now lets see if the sequels hold up!
A cool movie all in all, they should make more of these!
