i didn't really know about Miller's Sin City series of comic books. I usually only follow in the Marvel tradition e.g Spiderman, Blade etc. but when i saw this film i was blown away. I'm not a big fan of film noir but i was amazed at how good this film was. the different tales of the characters intertwined perfectly, the cast was excellent (yes even Nick Stahl) especially Mickey Rourke!! Definitely one of the best films I've seen for a long time! I'm a fan of the director, Robert Rodriguez, ever since he made Desperado and i think he has done a fantastic job on this film, with a little help from Tarantino. I only have two things confusing me, though. First, why cast an English guy and have him do a very bad American accent, and secondly, what was the point of Josh Hartnett's character?? Apart from these two questions, everything else was perfect, and it's nice to see Bruce Willis back on top form again.
