What a film!

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2006)

WOW! What a film. Every now and then, a film comes along that you HAVE to see, even if you end up hating it. Films like Fight Club, Se7en, The Usual Suspects and so on. Strangely, often these films turn out to be my favourite. Needless to say, Sin City is now one of my favourite films. Sure, it's hammy, sexist, explicit and hideously violent, but it's also gripping, exciting and so much more. I can't really explain why I like it so much. I just do. Brilliant.
Mickey Rourke is great and almost unrecognisable (correction: totally unrecognisable), but the other 'main men' Bruce Willis and Clive Owen are hammier than a butchers shop. Jessica Alba, despite being gorgeous, has nothing to get her teeth into either, so acting isn't the films strong point in general.
Thats about all I can say.
Bit where Elijah Wood gets eaten by his dog is strangely less shocking then you would expect, I'm not sure why...
