Sin City (2005) :star: :star: :star: :star:
Very stylized and extremely violent, I can't help having alot of admiration for this modern day film noir. This movie is told in four separate stories that are somehow connected if only briefly. My favourite story is Marv's the killer with a big heart who sets out to avenge the death of a young prostitute by the name of Goldie, the only girl that would sleep with him. The telling of his story is not without it's humour, black humour mind you and Mickey Rourke gives an outstanding performance and must take credit for bringing this character to life. Marv's story was by far the most interesting of the four tales. The other one, I didn't mind was Dwight's story played by Clive Owen.
Despite all the blood and guts, this is a very pretty movie to watch. The splashes of colour were used quite effectively. Kudos to the art director.
Alot of my friends hated this movie and find my admiration of it alittle hard to take. Each to their own, I always say.
