THE best film of this year and comic genre.

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2005)

Now, I had never heard of the graphic novels that Sin City was based on, and therefore i had absolutely no idea what to expect, espesh as over here in the UK, it hasn't been released yet so no-one could tell me.
In a nutshell, it is an awesome film, artistically directed(mostly in black and white but with dashes of colour) and superbly written. If someone was to describe a stereotypical dark comic book to you, it would be an exact representation of what Sin City is. My personal description is Pulp Fiction vs The Punisher.
The outstanding performance in it is undoubtedly Mickey Rourke, as he manages to pull off a 'hellboy-like' character, but Clive Owen surprises as a hard-guy(even his accent is believable), and there is appearances by so many other famous actors/actresses it shows that they really thought that Sin city was a project that they needed to be involved with,and rightly so.
All in all, everyone should see this film. Even though it is pretty gory in places(be-headings aplenty), there is little red blood in the film, which takes the edge off a little bit and so means it doesn't go down Kill Bill territory.
See this film. And anyone who says this film is anything but good to awesome, is(as Hartigan says in the film) "As expert as a palsy victim doin' brain surgery with a pipe wrench"
