Superb, atmospheric film with hard lead charactors and visually stunning.
Definitly a classic

Robert Rodriguez animates Frank Miller's sensational adult comic Sin City with such elegance and professionalism that I can securely say that this film mustbe the best this year. Sin City is no mere film, it is art with beauty more prominent than I have ever seen in motion picture before. The black and white filming is stunningly effective with amazingly tasteful scenes. The individually selected flashes of colour help bring his story to life.
The storyline itself is addictively interesting. It follows the lives of selective citizens of Basin City through three seperate storylines which intertwine to amazing effect. Don't be put off by the lack of a solid story, because the switch in stories keeps you completely hooked, and refreshes your interest at every turn - the interchanges are so fluid that you won't even notice it.
Strong performances from all actors, especially Bruce Willis, who assumes his role of movie hero once again. Micky Rourke delivers a persuasively love-struck Marv, out to avenge the death a hooker - the only woman to ever show him compassion, and Clive Owen who tries to control the outbreak of a civil war by covering up the grim murder of a corrupt police officer.
Guest director Quentin Tarantino perfects this already amazing movie, with such films as Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill under his belt. If you liked those, this is a must-see. I couldn't possibly do it justice. If you watch anything in the next week, watch Sin City.

Fantastic art film, the oppression and tension can be felt through the cinematography. Performances are inspiring particularly Bruce Willis and Elijah Wood. The contrasting of colours and inter-twining of storylines pulls you into the film although you don't need much encouragement. A film where you spot the variety of actors with exciment and are blown away with their performances. I give it a top rating it is a must see.
