Art come to life.

Rating: 7/10 (5 September 2007)

If there is one reason only to watch this movie, never mind the exceptional acting chops, the spot-on storyboard, and anything else you can think of, Sin City is, without a doubt, one of the most visually impressive movies of all time. There has been never been a movie like this where the comic art form has been brought so close to life in all its shape or form. Sin City brings true originality in its medium.
A few short stories, based on Frank Miller's Sin City comic, are brought to life on the big screen.
Being brought to film, for this comic book, is like bringing life to this world. How color is so brilliantly used, from Becky's eyes to Goldie's hair. Or the silhouette shading, cleverly used on Becky's crosses or when Dwight's drowning in the tar pits. Never mind that the scripting and stories themselves hold their own in this visual masterpiece. Rodriguez knew the timing was right to make a movie of this caliper and, thank the masses, Sin City has helped usher in a new dimension, an undiscovered country if you will, for bringing art from print to film.
