A circus of blood, punches and revenge...

Rating: 7/10 (12 January 2006)

This may be the most explicitly violent movie of the last years (at least it is one of the most violent that I've watched lately). We could discuss about violence in cinema, if it's permissible or it's not; but let's do that in other forums. Let's talk about the film, that's what we're here for, aren't we?
"Sin City" is visually spectacular, that fusion of film-noir, ultra violence and comic is pretty original and so shocking. Maybe all those voices over can get on your nerves, but the fact is that the movie lasts over 120 minutes and you don't get bored at any moment at all. It's been constructed by several parallel stories and even though you don't have any clue about the characters (I have never read those comics) you'll get hooked on the screen.
I wouldn't let any child to get closer to this artifact (no way!), and it is definitely no good for those that are sensitive and easily impressionable... for the rest of you (of us), it is just a big fat circus of blood, punches and revenge.
Oh, I forgot: what a cast!!
