Frank Miller is a genius. He creates these amazing world, and then sucks you into them. Sin City is a film of many stories each in the world of Sin City. I believe that the film is trying to show the City in which the character inhabit, more so then the stories of these characters. In each story, you are given an anti hero to watch as they struggle going up against a city that is run by evil people. None of the characters are particually amazing, or law abiding, but their are a lesser of two evils. One thing that is amazing about this film is the way in which it is filmed. Its totally in back and white, but done so that it all looks rather dark and ...  Read the complete review

I've had a bit of a run of Frank Miller comic books of late, sorry, I mean graphic novels. One that I haven't had the luck of reading yet, though, is Sin City. I first became aware of it a few years ago when the film came out, and it wasn't until I had watched it that I realised it was an adaptation of one of Miller's pieces of work. That it is adapted from a comic book is a given: this much is obvious from the direction and presentation, and it came as no surprise that Miller himself was one of the directors on the film. In terms of the violence of the film, Robert Rodriguez's co-direction takes care of that, and there is an element of Tarantino in there as ...  Read the complete review

So often comic book adaptations end up missing the point and being disowned by their original creator, however, this is the exception to the rule, a super stylish romp through the lawless Sin City, created by the legendary Frank Miller and directed by Robert Rodriguez who really does bring the comic book to life in a way that few comics (Mostly any of Alan Moore's, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen springs to mind!) have ever been on the big screen. The film is shot in highly defined black and white to give it the film noir styling of the story, but there are occasional glimpses of colour in an outfit or blood which just add real panache to the ...  Read the complete review

Sin City is in the film noir genre and is based on the graphic comic books written by Frank Miller. It focuses on the stories of several characters some good and some bad in the dark streets and back alleys of Sin City where violence and corruption go hand in hand. The movie itself features a huge cast of characters and jumps from character to character so there are a few stories to concentrate on and then at the end everything comes together. The first story in the film surrounds Bruce Willis who plays a cop who is retiring from the force. Before he does he goes to save a little girl from a serial killer. The killer is the son of the senator of the city and ...  Read the complete review

Sin City (2005) is written and directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez. What you get here is 3 short films for the price of one. Sin City is split up into 5 distinct parts and contains an impressive list of big names. A summary of said names - Jessice Alba, Mickey Rourke, Elijah Wood, Clive Owen, Benecio del Toro, Bruce Willis...and the list goes on. Shot to resemble the cartoon magazine these stories came from, the film is shot with black and white backdrops. Visually this film looks really good. Using (and being one of the first films to do so) Digital Backlot for most scenes (ie. the background is artifically created) this film required ...  Read the complete review
