There are going to be two kinds of people here. The people who think this is a violent, nasty piece of work
and hate it, and those who think this is a violent, nasty piece of work and love it.
I'm a fan of Frank Miller's comics work, although I'd never read any of the Sin City stories. Now I want to.
This is film noir crossed with Quentin Tarantino ultra-violence. In fact, Rodriguez lifts Tarantino's timeline-shifting clean.
The movie is gorgeous to look at, something that the fans and nay-sayers both seem to agree on. It's a work of cinematic art no matter what
you think of the stories or content.
Mickey Rourke is actually incredible. It reminded me of the good old days before he became a punching bag punchline. Actually, all of the
performances are great. Clive Owen is 10 different kinds of cool, Jessica Alba manages not to suck, Willis is fun, and Benicio Del Toro is
the coolest sleaze you've ever seen.
Definitely not for everyone, but if you like this sort of thing, it's a must-see. If you don't, then you'll still be able to appreciate the
gorgeous comic-book-come-to-life look of it.
