What a great visual adaptation...

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2005)

I have only glanced at Miller's books, but even with that small taste, I will say this is one of the BEST spot-on translations of an Author's material I have ever witnessed. Stunningly mesmerizing, the black and white used in the film made me feel as though I was IN the novel, and for that, I am grateful! I have heard many people talk about how the movie has "no plot", and how it jumps around...these people need more imagination, and also need to realize that this is actually THREE separate, yet intertwined stories all happening at the same time. The Josh Hartnett parts are from a collection of short stories that Miller did, and those are nicely placed... SIN CITY gets a 10 from me, for look, adaptation, and excellent casting by the way...every actor/actress chosen for the parts in this movie do a GREAT job of bringing to life the characters from the books! GO SEE IT!!!
