Sin City - Sin was never this delicious.

I was rather interested in watching this movie from the time I heard of it, and I was not disappointed. Although I'm sure the art work and the world created by Frank Miller would be more fascinating in print, the movie was not far from the vision. Adapting books into good cinema is difficult, and it only gets tougher with comics. As in the case of the Batman series which has been far from satisfactory. Although I am a fan of Tim Burtons work, I thought his movie was not dark enough. Rodriguez has managed to adapt the book almost frame to frame.
Frank Miller's artwork in the Dark Knight comics has been fascinating, the way he always plays all his characters in the shadows, creating a very fascinatingly mysterious world. The same can be said about Sin City. Although the characters are all the typical heroes and villains the plot and characterisation are so fast paced you don't have time to think of it all. The direction is great and the cast is brilliant. Almost all the actors do their jobs brilliantly, even Bruce willis, or probably its because he just gets to play himself.
The amount of blood and gore isn't really that heavy, when you compare it to movies like saving private Ryan or the like. The b/w treatment was inspired, when coupled with a splash of colour, it just springs to life.
This movie is pure sin!
