One Helluva Guy Movie

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2005)

I went to this movie without any expectations except for stylized action. I walked out with my jaw dropped, and my heart still beating from the adrenaline. Sin City is one rough, dirtied up place. It's got hookers, dirty cops, crooks around every corner, bad politicians, even cannibals. Everybody shoots first and asks questions later. What else could a guy ask for? I would like to say that Clive Owen and Mickey Rourke did an especially awesome job. While this movie is as close to perfect as it gets, nothing is perfect. It's kinda hard to believe that Bruce Willis is close to his seventies. Also, I would've liked more background on Josh Hartnett's character. And my last complaint is that everyone has the same tough guy voice. Except maybe Clive Owen. It just gets confusing, because everybody's voice is the same, and they often have you reading the characters minds. Oh, and one more teeny little thing, they could have told us with a little less confusion when we change stories and time lines. But that's as far as the complaints go. This movie has three different stories, which tie up loosely at the end. Each story is intriguing, but what'll really blow you away is the visuals. I think that Robert Rodriguez made a smart move leaving the Directors Guild for this movie. The little splashes of color are the perfect touch. But man, this movie's got blood, gore, action, bullets, punch outs, boobs (lots of boobs, don't take your girlfriend to this one) and kick ass driving scenes. What more could a guy ask for?
