Thoroughly Enjoyable

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2005)

Sin City is a very cool movie. There is no way to describe it as anything other than cool. While not being on par with such movies as Apocolyse Now, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience watching this movie. I wish I had seen it in theaters, as the movie included shots that could have been grand on the big screen.
The movie follows four stories, which are shocking, brutal, nubile, gory, and humorous. My personal favorite is the story of Marv, who seeks revenge after his love Goldie is murdered. Marv(Mickey Rourke) is a tough, ugly bruiser who can take quite a beating. It is well acted, and the shots come straight out of a comic book. The other stories are equally good, with an old cop(Bruce Willis), prostitutes galore, and a smelly yellow bastard.
Also starring Elijah Wood as a creepy serial killer, Benicio del Toro as a jerk who thinks he's the boyfriend of a seedy waitress, played by Brittany Murphy, and Clive Owen as Dwight, a murderer with a new face. They all do superb acting jobs.
My final score: 10/10 for enjoyability.
