Way over the top of grotesque

Rating: 1/10 (18 November 2005)

I watched this because of Bruce Willis, mainly, and the idea of a comic book stylistically rendered to video sounded interesting. However, I've never read any of the books the movie was based on, and subsequently was caught off guard. Very violent, dark, violent, harsh, and did I mention violent? I won't be lining up for Sin City 2... Unique use of color, but with such a disturbing story line I don't really care. Movies like this make me worry about the direction we're heading as a society. I'm disturbed by the idea that people not only watch this (after all, I watched some of it) but that they actually like it and think it's good stuff to create. Will we be surprised to see life imitate this kind of art? Scary...
