Not for everyone, deffo for most

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2007)

I don't think there is a film out there that will appeal to everyone, however this film will appeal to anyone who wants to see an original film, a stunning film visually, a film that will go down in history as the first great comic to film adaptation and anyone who has read the Frank Miller comics.
Quite simply if you match any of the above audiences or like old style gangster films you have to see this.
Its contains violence, prostitution and it seems that the only people in Sin City are villains, gangsters, prostitutes and cops (sometimes characters fall into more than one category). The story follows three paths with some clever links although they are three different story's.
Visually you will not see anything closer to the sauce material now or I suspect for a long time in the future. Shot in black and white with colour thrown in to highlight this (watch a trailer to see what I mean).
This is basically the Marmite of the film universe, Love it or hate it there is no middle ground. If you don't approve of violence on the big screen avoid. Otherwise see this film, even if you don't like the story its worth it for the visuals.
