Sin City - Sean M

Sin City is an andrenaline ride, revelling in its comic book origins, drawing on them for visual inspiration and over the top plot lines. Much attention has been drawn to its violence, which is extremely graphic and not for the faint of heart, but the directors overcomes this by deliberately caricaturing the dwellers of the city, and injecting a constant stream of humour. Three different stories have been amalgamated together for this film, with the main characters played by Bruce Willis, Clive Owen and Mickey Rourke. These are just some of the many Hollywood stars who have been attracted to this script. This is a great film, one which I absolutely encourage people to see, but take into account that its come from a comic book and that it is very violent.

Eddy T. - Hi Sean, there has also been criticism that Frank Miller's female characters in 'Sin City' are all either angelic virgins or whores, and that Miller himself is mysoginistic. I still want to watch the movie though!
