Queasy.

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2005)

For two hours, chivalrous psychotic sadists with square jaws hunt down sleazy psychotic sadists with greasy hair and physical deformities. That's more or less it -- the heroes torturing and killing men who hurt women (beautiful prostitutes with hearts of gold, mostly). The rest is gravelly voice-overs of them explaining how much they expect to enjoy torturing and killing those men when they find them.
Not to say it's a bad movie. The look is great. It's just that it's a lot like the fantasies of a very, very troubled fifteen-year-old boy. That the overall rating for Sin City is over 8 provides an insight into the minds of adult comic book fans that I didn't really want or need.
On the plus side, Sin City should get some credit for including a lot more shootings, clubbings, impalings, eviscerations, toilet-bowl dunkings, decapitations, knifings, machine-gunnings, neck-snappings, amputations, beatings, gougings, blowings-up and tar-drownings than you'd ever believe could fit into 124 minutes.
