Outstanding

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2005)

This is a wonderful adaption of the comic book series Sin City. You definitely don't have to have ever read the comic book series to enjoy, heck , you don't even need to know what comics are like. It helps but regardless this is an imaginative, thrill ride that leaves you feeling a little dirty inside. It is a dark guilty pleasure to chuckle at some of the groosome characters and scenes that only a comic book could produce. I loved it for its direct transfer of dynamic detail in the form of simple art work and color as found in the comic. I enjoyed the balance of realism and fiction along with the balance of the occasional bright red lipstick.
