Sin city.
What can a man say? what can anyone say.? I really liked this movie. Sure it was violent but then again this adds to the film and the very essence of the story. This is a SIN CITY for crying out loud, nothing about it is meant to be nice so if you don't like violence don't watch.
When i finished i tried and tried to think of a REALLY bad actor or actress in the movie. Yes it was a 'feast for the eyes' a 'truly masterful visionary piece if mise en scene' bla bla. It entertained me. The city where the sun never shine intrigued me, it kept me interested. So what if the violence is over the top (Marv getting hit THREE times by a car) Who cares? It interested me. Seeing Elijah Wood as a non-hobbity monster cannibal who, may i add, dodges what? Three gun shots with lightning speed! and near on annihilate the mountain that is Marv made me think, 'MAN! Don't fu...i mean, don't mess with hobbits Sauron, now look what you did to him'
A few days before i went to see a movie called ONG BAK. That was really brilliant action so it kind of deadened my senses to the short fight scenes in THIS movie but standing alone from what i saw previously Sin City was brilliant and if you can allow yourself to live like these characters for the Two and an odd minutes it lasts then you will feel the sin seep in.
