Black into White, Great!

Rating: 8/10 (11 September 2016)

Sin City portraits the harsh truth of living in a society polluted by crime and ceaseless dusk. The film is based on co-director Frank Millers graphical novel series and presented through its typical raw black-and- white perspective. The plot line has its roots in four separate sin city stories, all coloured with love as well as the sly mind of a villain. Director Robert Rodriguez along with academy winner Quentin Tarantino unloads the characters on a revenge topic, all taking place between the dark alleys of a pale concrete jungle.
The film is divided into six chapters were these four stories sequential make their approach. The first story set off the film by introducing The Salesman, a cold blooded assassin who uses his elegance to fulfill his contracts. The story moves on to the second one regarding John Hartigan (Bruce Willis), an ageing police officer investigating a serial child- killer on the loose with his fourth victim. Hartigan soon find out the corruption behind it all and risk his liberty to save the little girl, leaving struggling emotions on his mind. The third and fourth stories are both more focused on revenge of a loved one. We meet Marv (Mickey Rourke), chasing the murder of a prostitute and Dwight, stalking his girlfriends cruel ex-partner.
Occasionally the stories cross each other's paths allowing the viewer to get a more stable grip around its sometime complex concept. Outstanding details such as red blood, green eyes and blond hair embrace the scenes with curiosity and wonder, despite its dominate grey angles. Overall a film worth seeing, crammed with thrilling spirit.
