Hell of a movie...

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2008)

Trust me this is the probably the best movie you will ever see, yes it is a graphic novel and graphic novels to movies usually are crap, but this conversion ain't.
Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez dose a good job on this movie for many reasons, but the most important one is it follows the yarns closely (The Hard Goodbye, The Yellow Bastard and The Big Fat Kill) without being boring or unfaithful to the graphic novels roots.
The story follows three very different people in Sin City, Marv, Dwight McCarthy and John Hartigan in different situations, Marv avenging the death of his lover violently, Dwight trying to save old town prostitutes from the the cops and Irish mercenaries and Hartigan attempting to stop the Roark Family, the stories interlink and set in different periods.
The reason this film is so good is because of the characters and the actors portraying them Bruce Willis as gruff cop John Hartigan, Mickey Rourke as psychopath Marv and Clive Owen as saint Dwight McCarthy are amazing, the way the film is presented in stylish black and white with red the only colour as blood is jaw-dropping it's so great. The only negative feedback in my opinion was the yarn A Dame To Kill For was not included sadly and possibly an original story featuring all the main and secondary characters, other than this though it's still excellent in my mind.
Bring on Sin City 2 and 3...
