Sin City is a masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2005)

Robert Rodriguez has spent his entire career looking for the best way to deliver stylized mayhem to audiences. He's found it.
His unholy alliance with comic book superstar Frank Miller has yielded a truly great film, a triumph on all fronts. It is beautiful to look at, stimulating to listen to, performed with zest and power by a fantastic cast. Sin City is a ride, a dark journey into the depths of a world first seen in Miller's classic comics.
The film is so faithful to the comics that it feels like a comic book come to life. The characters appearances are so similar to the comic book images that at times it is difficult to tell the difference. But as great as Miller's understanding of comic books and the need for comic movies to be faithful to them is, Rodriguez' understanding of movies rivals it. He knows the technology, he knows the process, and he loves it.
It's this love that comes across on the screen. Sin City cannot truly be described, it can only be experienced. Enjoy!
