One bloodbath, and a fistful of sins

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2005)

Unlike most comic book films, where the lines are almost as cliché as the acting themselves, "Sin City" takes its own purpose. Its as unique in every way the book was meant to be, and deserves worthy praise for the non successors like "Daredevil" and "Hulk".
"Sin City" is 4 stories combined to flip into 1 hell of an action ride. Its a graphic tale, but tells it well, with probably some of the sharpest lines some movies have yet to even create, and the wit and knowledge of characterization brings out the better in the movie, and the standards of the comic book. Completely taken by surprise, Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Josh Hartnett, Clive Owen, Brittany Murphy, Rosario Dawson, and many more take part in this. Its a terrific film that sets new boundaries for what movies have and what not. It's something new, revelating, and unique feature to what is being shown in theaters now. The action is unique, the color is amazing, and the motion and the film surrounding itself is fairly a unique style of filming, and it stays that way, for of course, the rather generations of what the film industry has headed to.
The stories are all mapped out in a slow, and carefully crafted fashion. They all go in a storybook mode, with imagery as graphic as brain surgery, and the action then takes place. The stories each go at their own pace, whether their are all gunshot stories, or stories that are slow with care, and taking heroic measures to be taken, which is what some of them are.
There's rumblings of a sequel coming out, and I can't wait to see it.
