MUST SEE movie - truly original

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2005)

I am NOT a comic book fan - simply because I come from a different culture and country. But I DO LOVE good cinematography. And this film is ONE HELL OF A RIDE! All elements are superb - directing, acting (and what a cast!), cinematography, sound and score - they each enhance and compliment one another. Being such an original and fresh film you can't miss seeing it on a big screen. I have watched tons of GREAT movies - from the birth of cinematography to the latest contemporary classics. CIN CITY will not win Best Film of the Year Oscar - but It sure WILL become a CULT CLASSIC. It might take an Oscar for visuals, though. I truly haven't seen anything like this before - you haven't either. VERY dark, VERY cool and VERY violent. Being a parent I will not recommend to take kids under 14 with you. There's just WAAAY too much killing and a good amount of nudity ...
I will give it a VERY STRONG 8 (though 8.5 would be more appropriate).
