Sin City

June 1st, 2005 with 151 views

The Hard Goodbye (Sin City, Book 1: Second Edition) I haven’t read Frank Miller’s Sin City yet, so I can’t comment on how accurate the movie is as a comic book adaptation (though from what I’ve read in reviews, the movie stays pretty much true to the book). So my review of Sin City will be how it is as a movie.

I’m not really one for blockbuster action flicks because whenever I watch one, I feel suffocated by all the testosterone wafting in the atmosphere. However, I didn’t experience that when I saw Sin City. Sure, as with any action movie, there are guns, scantily-clad girls, and gory death scenes. But what made it so different from other action movies I’ve seen is that the violence isn’t just violence; it was done to imitate the way action would be portrayed in a comic book. And it worked very well. I loved the cinematography, particularly the way color would occasionally pop out of the black-and-white. Besides that, Sin City has a well-crafted plot that sucked me in and left me literally sitting at the edge of my seat, hungry for more of the action. 4.5/5
