FILM NOIR AT ITS BEST! A MASTERPIECE

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2019)

For those who don't know what film noir is, it means dark film. It was one of the first genre's of film back when they were black and white. The murder mystery type. It's one of the first thing's that film students study in film school, if not the first. It set the stage for all of film back in the 20's and 30's. And since then has been lost, so that most people do not even know the phrase.
That genre has returned in all of its former glory and more here in this glorious masterpiece. Sin City is a serious work of art. It's new shades and textures of black and white with little splashes of color here and there are just beautiful and entrancing.
The movie is mysterious, inspiring, compelling, violent, shocking, romantic, poetic, glorious, and of course very dark. Robert Rodriguez is an incredible director who has done a lot of great action movies, but this work is revolutionary to say the least.
It comprises a set of 4 different sub stories within it, each which intersect in the middle and each which will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Each one is an amazing story in and of itself that has a great beginning, middle and end. When you put them all together, what you get is just incredibly epic. So epic that it will literally blow your mind and make it hard for you to return to the real world after.
Of course it helps that this movie has one of the greatest line ups of all time in it. Each one of the stories within it has several huge actors in it, both stars and character actors. You will see all of your favorite actors in some of the most animated roles they have ever played. It is a such a treat.
This movie is like taking a powerful drug for any film students or connoisseurs or people who really love film. It is a really powerful experience I know you will enjoy. 10 stars easy.
