wow!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2005)

There isn't much to say about this film, because it's so good, that many people have commented it. Although it seems a bit pointless to share my opinion withe the others, I'll do it anyway. Why?
Well, Sin City is one of the best film I've watched (and I've done several times already). Great cast, fantastic atmosphere, quite a plot for a "badass movie". The film is divided into 4 parts - but the 1st and 4th are about the same man, Frank Hartigan (Bruce Willis), who is a hero cop. Standard plot, but nicely done.
The second part is story about revenge. Marv (Mickey Rourke) wants to kill the bastards that assassinated his new girlfriend, Goldie. In my opinion that's the best part of the movie. Rourke plays really tough guy, whose devotion to a girl he's spent only a single night with, is moving. Even bad asses have some feelings!!
The 3rd part is also great. The plot may sound a bit funny, because the main problem is to defend... the whore town!! Clive Owen's performance is great - he is calm but ruthless and Benizio del Toro was even better. You just have to watch it! All of the actors were fantastic, just like the girls, who were beautiful, charming and sometimes mysterious. I only disliked the fact that 99% of them where prostitutes!!!!
Those of film-maniacs who watched "Payback" with Mel Gibson and "Last Man Standing" with Bruce Willis and Christopher Walken have probably spotted that the main character not only acts, but he also "comments" everything and tells the whole story to the watchers. That's really cool effect. The same thing was in "Sin City". Rourke, Willis and Owen are doing outstanding job, their comments are full of emotions (especially anger),passion; the actors are really engaged in all their actions and I really appreciate this. It seems quite obvious that they enjoyed their roles. Pity that the film is about 1:48 long, because if it was longer, we could enjoy more of the characters.
I hope that Mickey Rourke has started a "new era" in his acting career because "Man On fire" (2004) and "Sin city" (2005) are excellent movies and in my opinion we may expect more of Rourke at his best in the future!
Anyway, watch Sin City, because if you don't, you'll miss a great production.............
