Wow!

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2005)

I don't say "Wow" about a movie very often. But I was particularly blown away by this movie. I'm a fan of the director and literally every bit of this incredible cast. And what a cast it is! Robert Rodriguez put together an incredible piece of art. I'm not a comic book reader and had never heard of Sin City, but I am a fan of great film making. From the writing, to the score, to the acting and straightforward and appropriately cheesy dialogue - this movie kept me fully engrossed for its entirety. A real escape into a brilliantly-created world of kick-ass film noir.
On a bit of a side note, I laughed hysterically when Benicio Del Toro used his teeth to pry the fingers from his gun... don't want to ruin anything for anyone, but it was unbelievably and original storytelling.
Give this movie a chance, you'll be glad you did.
