Very disappointing...

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

7.5 out of 10 for clarification. Sin City is the heavily stylized and largely successful adaptation of Frank Miller's comic series. It weaves together the profoundly violent tales of three protagonists seeking retribution in "Basin City". The core strength of Sin City lies in it's presentation. The black and white visuals, presence of comic art and distinct cinematography and editing create a gritty, visceral noir atmosphere. Sin City is an abundantly violent film, some of which is stylized and highly effective. Additionally, the film is bolstered by a non linear plot structure and monologues delivered by the protagonists. Leads Rourke, Willis and Owen deliver compelling performances that perfectly suit their tormented roles.

Stylish and visually inventive, this graphic novel adaptation uses more CGI than it does colour - digitally creating a monochrome world and inserting our hard-boiled heroes into it. 'Sin CIty (2005)' is usually entertaining, if uneven, and unconventionally 'vibrant', as close to page-perfect as possible for better or worse. Yet for all it's flair, the sickly ham-fisted dialogue and clumsy knock-off noir narration overflows like bile, despite the fact that its tongue is allegedly planted firmly in its cheek. The vignette style makes for some stories that work better than others, but an overall disjointed feel that doesn't necessarily feed into the combined aesthetic. Not bad, but not great either. 6/10

Much of the film is based on the first, third and fourth books in Miller's original comic series. The Hard Goodbye is about a man who embarks on a brutal rampage in search of his one-time sweetheart's killer, killing anyone, even the police, that gets in his way of finding and killing her murderer. The Big Fat Kill focuses on an everyman getting caught in a street war between a group of prostitutes and a group of mercenaries, the police and the mob. That Yellow Bastard follows an aging police officer who protects a young woman from a grotesquely disfigured serial killer. The intro and outro of the film are based on the short story "The Customer is Always Right", which is collected in Booze, Broads & Bullets, the sixth book in the comic series.

This movie is complete stupid and unreasonable. And it only calls for violence. People smashing heads and cutting hands with a saw. The only reason this movie film exists is just because of the violence and to generate more violence. Even the duality between man and woman ends up disappearing. In the midst of so much unnecessary violence. An unnecessary film, perverted and ridiculous. At least, Jaime King has a beautiful face and beautiful cleavage. Seeing Jaime King is a unique pleasure, but to endure the poor performance of Mickey Rourke, with that unbearable face, that no one can stand, it is a nightmare. And actually, no actor in this joke of a movie does a good job, for the matter. The action scenes are even more ridiculous and extremely boring to watch. An experience that I do not want to go back to, and for that I can not recommend it.
