Vicious in delivery, brilliant in execution. A great comic book flick.

Rating: Null/10 (2 April 2005)

Just got back from this one. Easily one of the most faithful adaptations of the medium, right down to Frank Miller's visual style. Having picked up the odd Sin City comic here and there, everything's intact. And I'm not even a Frank Miller fan (outside of his work on Daredevil).
Great performances all around, especially from Mickey Rourke, who does a great turn as Marv (although the prosthetics make him look a bit like Hellboy). Benicio Del Toro, Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, et al are great as well.
Clearly, Robert Rodriguez "gets" it. Now, all I gotta do is break open the ole piggy bank, head to the comic book store, and pick up "That Yellow Bastard", "A Dame to Kill For", "The Big Fat Kill" and "Sin City".
