Sex, violence, crime, This film has it all.

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2005)

I just got back from the theater and I've gotta say, I'm astounded. I expected this to be a fun movie, but five minutes into the film it kicked into an adrenaline fueled rush that didn't let up until the bloody end. It captured the seedy and violent tones of the graphic novels in a way that I can honestly say I've never seen a motion picture adaptation of any other form of literature achieve. Sin city is what film noir could have been had there been no handicaps leveraged on Hollywood due to ethical paranoia. The lines were delivered in a tone reminiscent to the best detective/crime flicks from the 1940s, and the action, while admittedly over-the-top, gave the picture a feel that's destined to stand out against the usual Hollywood action fare. For anyone who likes pistols blazing and blood spilling in the movies this is a must-see.
