Sin City

April 3, 2005

Watched Sin City at the theatre.

Definitely a 'guy movie': lots of action, lots of very beautiful, often naked, women, and very violent. It's based on comic books—wait, graphic novels—that I haven't read. Yet. Everything in the movie works: some of the acting is bad at times, but it's intentionally done for effect; the story lines are complex and loop back on each other; the violence is often original (Miho would fit nicely the Kill Bill movies) but very often either left to the viewer's imagination or explained, in a way, later; and the women. They are all extremely beautiful, and all extremely intelligent. And ruthless. One of the best movies I've seen in a long time, which I definitely need to see again on the big screen.
