Comic Book meets Pulp Fiction

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2005)

I went with two typically critical friends into Sin City tonight. It wasn't our first choice, and the eventual decision on seeing the film was more on the fact we could get decent seats (went to one of the few places in Sydney with allocated seating).
What a ride! It took a while for the movie to warm up, but once it hit the first peak it stayed there for much of the film. If you didn't mind the blood and guts from films like Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill series, then you'll be able to sit watching this without squirming. There's a lot of violence in this film! The film is in black and white, but the addition of colour for blood, tears and the like is essential in order to draw your attention to certain things (this becomes even more important near the end when certain characters are completely coloured). A very enjoyable film! 9/10
