Sin City (2005)

Must See Movie...

The first must-see film of the year.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Brilliantly uses black and white, with hints of color to highlight certain aspects, much like the graphic novels it's based on. It's a neo-noir film with (not quite)superheroes.. in fact even heroes might be exaggerating, since there are no "Knights in shining armor" in this. There are however badass anti-heroes and a lot of sexy dames. This movie is ultra stylish, so even the most brutal acts of violence are beautiful to watch. It's probably the closest to a comic book literally coming to life on screen we're ever gonna get!

Movie Review: "Sin City" (2005)A prologue scene of three minutes with Josh Hartnett as gentleman-killer on a rainy rooftop balcony tinted in stark-contrast Black & White HD cinematography of occasional striking color on the victim's red lips.Divided into three episodes from graphic novel writer and illustrator Frank Miller, published in 1991/1992, starting out with Bruce Willis as Detective Hardigan in a hard-boiled good, bad cop episode, rescuing 11-year-old Nancy Callahan from the clutches of psychopathic maniac of a senator's son, performed by actor Nick Castle. The graphic violence has been pushed to such an extent that even the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) demanded de-colorization of exit wounds in gun wounds and knife slashes, which diminishes the picture's color theme structure established from the prologue on. For that reason, the visual quality of "Sin City" varies.The execution of the production lets me feel the passion for source material by director Robert Rodriguez and co-director Frank Miller that searches in its visceral boldness few equals in U.S. American motion picture history.The best episode comes then right away from running time 13 minutes to 48 minutes with Mickey Rourke as the heavy-hitter Marv, who goes on Sin City rampage tour to avenge the death of a one-night-stand love affair, where the balance of neo film noir blacks and whites gets infusions of blood-splattering proportions, which finishes to my entertainment satisfactions. Episode three, starring Clive Owen as righteous cop Dwight, keeps heads and tension levels high in another storyline of revenge for another cop's abusive behavior against women. Dwight, portrayed by Clive Owen, stays cool in a magnificent shot interior car scene at night by guest director Quentin Tarantino at running time 68 minutes. The director makes full use of the digital color forces, ranging the wet window flashing from Blue over Green to Red, what brings the potential of "Sin City" to the screen, which has not been entirely making use of due to rating regulations and at times one sided directorial vision of just being an entertainment movie instead filling it also with art-house sophistication.Before "Sin City" slights back the Hardigan Story in an 8-year flash-foward rescuing 19-year-old table dancing Nancy Callahan, performed by Jessica Alba, again from the senator's son transformed into an abomination as Yellow Bastard, where the picture carries through by a father-daughter like chemistry between Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba.The HD cinematography also shot by director Robert Rodriguez comes along with a minimum of production design and further digital extensions especially in exterior wide shots, when the 120 minutes editorial keeps its pace to fulfilling finish of another staying cool Josh Hartnett performed gentleman-killer encounter in a hospital's elevator.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

I had a feeling I was going to hate this movie, and I was right. I only watched it in the hope that I would be pleasantly surprised, but nope... I disliked it just as much as I thought I would. The only positive point I have to make about this film is how it looks. There's no doubt that this film has style in abundance - it's a visual feast. In fact, the visuals were the only thing that kept me watching.Everything else about 'Sin City' I didn't like, from the wafer thin storyline to the ridiculously over-the-top violence. I normally don't mind violence in films but the violence in 'Sin City' was excessive to the point where it became totally meaningless. So, all in all, not my type of film at all. 'Sin City' oozes style but offers nothing in just about every other area.

This is a wonderful movie. It got thriller, drama, multiple stories and multiple ending. This is also an action movie with more of a artistic flavor . If you haven't watched it yet . I wonder why ?Alert- This movie contains curse language, nudity and killing people with brutality.This movie worth every second. Wow !
