What a cool, kick-ass fun flick

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2005)

Robert Rodriguez scores big with Sin City. And good thing, too, after Once Upon a Time in Mexico. The film was a treat. Part campy, part old-time noir, part comic book, visually stunning & ALL GOOD. The acting seems a little stiff in parts, but I think that's by design, as all of the characters try not to show too much emotion, though we get the feeling (especially in Mickey Rourke's case) that they are FULL of emotion. The make-up could have been a little better on Rourke, but everything else in the film is pretty much flawless. It's definitely destined to be a classic that people will want to watch many times over. And Carla Gugino shows us her "WOW, I DIDN'T KNOW SHE HAS THOSE" rack. 'Nuff Said.
