One of the all time greats

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2005)

I'll start by stating that I have never read the Sin City graphic novels, but I am a fan of Frank Miller's work (his work on Daredevil and Batman is amazing), so I had high expectations coming in, and those expectations were met and greatly exceeded. First off, just the style of the movie is unlike anything I've ever seen. The use of color in the black and white setting is breathtaking. The same effect was used in Pleasantville, but it was put into a new level here. Second, the stories are captivating and I didn't want them to end. You get attached to the characters and hate to see their story close. Lastly, whoever did the casting for the movie deserves a raise. Even though Bruce Willis doesn't really look the part of 60-70 year man, he plays the part perfectly, and then there's Jessica Alba and Brittany Murphy, enough said. This was one of those movies, that after I finished seeing for the first time, I immediately put on my list of all time favorites and it has also inspired me to start writing again. Can't wait for the sequels and I think Miller should consider directing more, as I can tell some of his personal touches in the movie. I like Rodriguez, but I'm still trying to forgive him for those Spy Kids movies. But Sin City is a must see for anybody, there's something for the whole family to enjoy.
