What
an
incredible
cinematic
experience
-
ass-fuckin'-kickin'!
Innovative
filmmaker
Rodriguez
(who
gave
us
classics
like
El
Mariachi
and
From
Dusk
Till
Dawn)
took
Frank
Miller's
moody
Sin
City
graphic
novel
stories
and
weaved
it
into
the
best-utilized
High
Definition
video
shot
picture
ever
(besides
Sky
Captain).
The
black
&
white
noir
tone
of
the
stories
(with
its
cops
and
hoods,
working
folk,
lowlifes
and
comic
book
villains),
are
brilliantly
translated
with
the
occasional
splashes
of
colour
(mainly
red),
and
top
use
of
shadows.
The
dark
tales
meander
and
meet
up
throughout,
keeping
you
nailed
to
your
seat
through
many
incredible
set
pieces,
action
sequences
and
moody
atmospheric
moments
with
the
little
flickering
flame
of
good,
righteousness
and
justice
scraping
at
the
edge
of
Basin
City's
brutal
darkness
where
even
the
good
guys
have
a
mean
streak.
Never
a
sliver
of
daylight,
the
pictures
are
perfect,
the
characters
and
the
actors
portraying
them
splendid,
the
style
lavish
and
visually
striking,
and
the
predominantly
digital
surroundings
working
perfectly
for
a
change
as
it
replicates
the
two
dimensional
look
of
the
black
&
white
pages
from
which
they're
brought
to
life.
Sin
City
is
sheer
cinematic
class
and
easily
one
of
the
coolest
films
of
the
year,
even
though
many
viewers
will
find
some
scenes
savagely
intense.
In
stead
of
"special
guest
stars",
the
film
features
Quentin
Tarantino
as
special
guest
director.
Conventional
this
surely
'aint!
