No Sin in Its Style.

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2015)

Sin City (2005): Dir: Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez / Cast: Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Benicio Del Toro, Jessica Alba: Overwhelming comic book film eye candy presented in black and white with red and green tinted colour. Nothing positive exits but only hate, revenge and murder. Bruce Willis plays a cop with a heart condition out to rescue a young girl but is betrayed by his partner. Mickey Rourke goes on a killing spree after a lady friend is murdered. Clive Owen tracks down corrupt cops lead by Benicio Del Toro, which leads to an area run by combat women. Jessica Alba plays the grown version of the woman whom Willis saved in the film's opening. He must break out of jail to secure her safety but feels it is worth the price of his life. Directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez to their stylish best with every scene in black and white with colour tints. The cast survive the violence by portraying intriguing individuals. Besides Willis, there is Rourke's hell raising trek for vengeance. Owen clashes with corrupt law led by Del Toro whose severed head causes bizarre images. Jessica Alba appears as an exotic dancer. She is the grown version of a girl seen earlier in the film. The violence is unfortunately meaningless graphic revenge but its visual delivery results in a great looking comic book adaptation wallowing in sin and celebrating its access. Score: 6 / 10
