AVisual Delight of Noir.

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2005)

The Film is a Must for fans of the Comic Book series and a Tantalizing Offering for those who don't know of haven't kept up with Miller's work.
For those who Appreciated, Loved or Adored Miller's Narratives you'll recognize the attention to detail that has been put in recreating the visual qualities of the overcast world. What's uncanny is just how some of the more poignant images of the books will strike appear so Perfect, not due to their rendering on-screen but in their simple, effective and balanced composition. For instance when Mark walks on the bridge through the rain towards the statue of Cardinal Roark, the image projected epitomizes Miller's Drawing and Inking style.
The use of color is Just as Acute, from beginning to end, it is lush and strikes out against the palette of Grays and the Extreme contrasts work beautifully to key in some visual detail or frame the image.
No singularity is spared. Gail and all the other Old Town Girls wear familiar costumes and Not the Hollywood remakes we would expect to see like in X-Men or Spiderman, Many sites are faithfully recreated and the dialogue has a familiar scent, one that is reminiscent of the books with a touch of Tarantino (some of the cheesy lines).
Now what about the potboiler? It's anything but! The story is Noir by Excellence and punctuated with Wicked scenes of Violence and Gore, intertwining into a lovely Adventure that'll have you laughing and Cheering and begging for much more after the last scene... Especially more Miho Action... You'll fall in love with the characters!
Sin City is truly one of the BEST films this year and a Newborn Cult Classic!!
Now for all of you who have Never heard of Frank Miller or Sin City until you saw the preview, Just go see the Movie. It's got everything a good Box Office Action/ Noir/ Thriller can have and more so. You'll love it!!!
RANK: 9.6 / 10
