Absolutely Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2005)

As someone who has not seen the comic taking my first steps in to the world of Sin City was a mixture of excitement and curiosity. I had no idea what the plot was going to be coming into the film, and I was more than exceedingly surprised. The art and direction was beautiful and executed with equal amounts of subtlety and extravagance. Plot, character development, art, design, cinematography were all top notch and superb. If you are looking for a good story and don't shy away from some (or a lot) of graphic violence then an adventure through the rough streets of Sin City is one you cannot miss.
But, a word of caution some comic book fanatics may be a little irked with a few elements of the execution. Do not let this dissuade you from enjoying one of the most creative and artistic films I have seen in a long time. Action, suspense, love, hate it has it all.
I gave this movie a 10/10.
