Adolescent and puerile

Rating: 3/10 (25 August 2009)

I am a fan of entertaining, violent action films in the Rodriguez/Tarantino style and am certainly not squeamish about on-screen violence. Sin City, however, is just so dumb that it beggars belief. This is not a shocking film in terms of the on-screen blood and gore but it is a truly shocking insult to the intelligence of the viewer. If you want to get inside the mind of a thirteen year old boy scrawling pictures of death and mutilation in his school book then this is the film for you. Could the creative minds behind this really be adults? The great design and first rate actors are wasted on this nonsense.
