Phenomenal

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2005)

Sin City blew me away. Visually, it was one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. The film is in black & white, with color interspersed in certain items (such as a girl's blue eyes or a woman's red dress). I thought it was pretty fascinating to see a major film shot this way. Some of the scenes are very comic-book (it is based on Frank Miller's graphic novels) and I loved that. The movie was very over-the-top...but in a way that I really enjoyed. Very interesting plot lines and I was as interested as could be throughout the entire film. Though make sure you know...the movie is very graphic and has just a tad bit of blood. It's mostly done in an over-the-top way, as mentioned, but be aware. In any case, for my money, Sin City is a must-see.
