Stunning, perfectly executed

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2005)

A great movie, Sin City isn't like your average comic book movie were it's just the comic characters and some of the story turned into a movie, it is as if the actual pages of the comic book came alive. Extremely stylish. The movie is in black & white, with touches of primary and secondary color. Like a dress in red, or blonde hair yellow, eyes blue. It in the most unique movie I've ever seen, not just for the style, but the way things played out. They didn't pull any punches, it is extremely violent/gory, but not in a gruesome way. The violence is done with style, not as over the top as Kill Bill Vol.1, but it has some humor to it. I don't think there is anything about Sin City that could have been done better, everything was executed perfectly. But it isn't all style, the characters feel so authentic - in a comic book way. They are not simply going through the motions, you knew why they are doing what they are doing, it is in their character. The cast is excellent, good acting all around. And beautiful female nudity.
If you like anything Quentin Tarantino's done, you'll love this movie. But if you think it's just some comic book based movie to take the kids to, don't.
