Visit Sin City: violent, dangerous, depressing... and absolutely awesome!!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2005)

Exactly my kind of movie I have to say.
The cast list is fantastic, the characters itself are fantastic (Marv just rocks!!) and the atmosphere of the movie is fantastic.
Nice alternation for the eyes to see a good old black and white- movie, you feel right back in the past. I liked the small amounts of color, especially Dwight's shoes and Goldie's hair. They give the movie some kind of... don't know, and that's what's so great about! And the black and white thing coupled with the voice from the off reminds me of the computer game 'Max Payne', making it even more atmospheric.
I think Robert Rodriguez did a great job. I don't know the comics by Frank Miller but I'm watching out for them, after I've heard that the movie is a nearly perfect copy of them.
And what I liked especially: no character in this flick is 'good', no one. Even the so called hero, Hartigan (man, I liked Bruce Willis playing this role), though he is all about saving Nancy Callahan's life, isn't so glorious, considering his final confrontation with the Yellow Bastard. Marv is just a psychotic crazy killer maniac, not even flinching from killing a priest ("Amen!") and sawing off a 'boy's' arms and legs, and watching the dog eating them afterwards, but he all does this because of the only love he has ever had, the hooker Goldie, killed by the 'boy' (or whatever he is) Kevin. And Dwight, yeah, Dwight is also a special figure to talk about, because he comes close to Marv, concerning his bloodlust. In my opinion, Clive Owen is a great cast for this role, don't know why, but in my eyes, he just fits the image.
I have to thank Quentin Tarrantino for the scene with Dwight and the killed Jackie Boy in the car, because it's just so crazy and bizarre that this scene surely becomes copied in any way in the future. But they won't get it that good as good old Quentin did.
And one last word I have to say about the girls: FANTASTIC!!! So many pretty girls. Jessica Alba and Brittany Murphy are my favorites but also Rosario Dawson, Alexis Bledel and all the other girls are gorgeous.
So, there's only left to say: everybody who hasn't seen this movie yet: go into the next theater, buy a ticket for Sin City, sit down relaxed in your chair and just let the atmosphere suck you into the film. When it's over, you notice a small but urgent voice in your head, saying: "Watch it again. Immediately!!!"
