I went to see Sin City for the second time in the cinema with Sara yesterday. I can’t believe that there are already three months since I saw it at the Nexus pre-screening. The movie itself is one of the best movies ever made in my opinion. The transition from comic book to movie is so transparent and beautifully done as evident by this comparison. All those great actors also really shine through in their roles and the movie is just a fantastic experience all around. A must see for everyone.
Rating: 5/5

A collection of interweaving stories all based in the corrupt, crime infested hell-hole that is Basin City. Heavily influenced by film-noir, the main storylines concern a hulking brute called Marv (Mickey Rourke), who is seeking the murderer of a beautiful woman who was killed while asleep in bed with him; an ex-photographer called Dwight (Clive Owen) who accidentally kills a hero cop and has to cover it up; and a soon-to-be-retiring policeman called Hartigan (Bruce Willis) who is incarcerated for a crime he didn’t commit. All based on the brilliant graphic novels “Sin City”, “The Big Fat Kill” and “That Yellow Bastard”, written and illustrated by Frank Miller.
