Ball Busting

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2005)

This is the film that i had been waiting for. Rarely has there ever been a film where i was knocked out of my seat from the ball busting attitude of a film. Right from the first second of film I felt i would leave a happy person. The heavy black and white cinematography, the intense colour work, the awesome acting from everyone, every bit of this is flawless in my eyes.
Many have said this is sexiest against women, but the whole time the women were on I thought i wouldn't want to mess with them. This is really empowering for the women. As they said, the women are the law, and you wouldn't want to cross them; especially Miho.
All the guys are tough and forceful. Marv going on a relentless massacre for a woman he loved is the best tragic love story i have every seen in film. But all the stories are tragic love stories in one way.
A thought about the violence in Sin City. If this was in colour, the violence would have been so much more disturbing. Though this is a violent movie, it is very stylized; so the impact is dulled down that your not always registering the violence.
In all, this is Robert Rodriguez's best work. This film will never date and be as strong in 20 to 50 years time.
