Sin City: So violent it's a sin

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2014)

I stumbled across this visually haunting noir film by accident and got hooked immediately. Never a big fan of the noir genre', I instantly loved the visuals, characters and plot though I think it's a bit too violent; everything else pretty much makes up for that however and I can be a bit squeamish. In fact the excessive violence (which could have been alluded to at times) was the only reason I didn't give this stunner a 10. It's kind of like a Manga gore-fest. Sin City is also an example of great casting with the amazing Rosario Dawson and Clive Owen among the super talented cast. It just looked like they were enjoying themselves in their characters, something I appreciate greatly in film. If you have a strong stomach and want something actually engaging and different than superhero movies, check out Sin City.
