Black and White, it's Dynamite

Rating: 1/10 (6 November 2005)

Sin City, a film noir spectacular, created by the one and only Frank Miller (responsible for some of the greatest Batman stories ever told) was, by far 2005's best film. It was stylish, intense, funny, action packed, but most importantly, a spectacular film.
Right from the start you know you're not in for a normal one hour and thirty minute run-of- the-mill movie. It grabs you by the collar of your trench coat and pulls you into its tales of sexy dames, killers with hearts of gold and ultra-violence.
The violence, and boy, is there a lot, isn't to much to handle, thanks to the MPAA forcing Robert Rodriguez to cut out some blood, is perfectly executed. It matches panel for panel the genius comic that Miller created and wrote. It never gets to be to much to handle, and most importantly you care deeply for the characters by the time the movies done with.
The acting was stellar, with Mickey Rourke and Clive Owen giving the performances of their careers. Rourke especially as the big lug known simply as Marv.
All in all, the film was a great success. I loved every minute of it. Definitely a must-see for anyone who's a fan of the graphic novels.
