Wicked Good Fun...

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2005)

In my humble opinion, Frank Miller's Sin City (2005) is Robert Rodriguez at his best. I was immediately reminded of such singular gems as Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971), Michael Almereyda's Nadja (1994), Nick Taylor's A Clown in Babylon (1999). With rock solid performances by Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke, amazing photography and editing by Mr. R., and some bloody amazing looking young ladies, this black & white with a splash of color "comic book" come to life kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The only weak link for me was the over the top hooker machine gunner sequence which completely broke the flow and got me biting my nails. Fortunately, it was followed by a revisit to the "Willis" character, and literally ended with a bang. Great Job!
