Stylized, visually stunning and extensively violent comic adaptation.

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2018)

7.5 out of 10 for clarification.
Sin City is the heavily stylized and largely successful adaptation of Frank Miller's comic series. It weaves together the profoundly violent tales of three protagonists seeking retribution in "Basin City". The core strength of Sin City lies in it's presentation. The black and white visuals, presence of comic art and distinct cinematography and editing create a gritty, visceral noir atmosphere. Sin City is an abundantly violent film, some of which is stylized and highly effective. Additionally, the film is bolstered by a non linear plot structure and monologues delivered by the protagonists. Leads Rourke, Willis and Owen deliver compelling performances that perfectly suit their tormented roles.
