Sin City (2005)
Comic book style oozes in spades.
Presentation:
The film utilizes striking black and white with saturated aspects in this hyper stylized realization of Frank Miller's comic book. Bleach bypassy grittiness elevates the dark tone and material. The story is segmented into several parts, some of the connected and some left to be further explored in the sequels. For sci-fans or comic book nerds, this film delivers.
Conclusion:
All characters are brought alive in this fun episodic bloodbath. The story is handpicked from some of the best, so you can expect a smart script with diversity especially with guest director Quentin Tarantino. That means guilty pleasure popcorn moments, but might even be more than for you because of itโs noir style. One of my favorites as a teenager.
