Should have been NC-17

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2005)

"Sin City" is the most violent movie I have ever seen. Even though the splattered blood and cut off limbs look like they came out of of video game, I still think this film should have been rated NC-17. There is no reason any children should be seeing this film. There is also lots of gratuitous nudity.
Despite that, I liked the film. In this day where I often forget what movies I've seen because they are so forgettable, this is one I won't forget. It looks different than any other film I've seen. The closest would be "Sky Captain," but "Sin City" has much better stories.
The 3 stories all follow the Noir formula. The tough loner with a soft spot for a dame in trouble stops at nothing to save the damsel in distress. The protagonists may be anti-social, but they have integrity.
Because of the stunning visuals, you should see this one while it is still in the theaters.
