For those of you not familiar with Frank Miller (Batman: The Dark Knight Returns), or Robert Rodriguez (Desperado, Spy Kids series), let me make some informal introductions. Robert, Frank, these are my friends. Readers, meet the pair of geniuses who have done the unthinkable. Many said that Frank Miller's three graphic novels (comic books) could not be brought to film. It was much too sexual, too violent and most of all, it was just unfilmable. Miller specifically refused to sell the movie rights...until Rodriguez came along. He screened the opening scene of Sin City to Miller, and he was sold! This movie...sorry, film, is not for the squeamish, or those offended by nudity (true to the nature of the comic, there is a lot of unnecessary nudity). But people who truly appreciate great cinema will undoubtedly fall for Sin City. It is a three-part fragmented story, that ties together in a Tarantino'esque finale. Great lines, great action scenes, and perfectly cast! Although there are heroes in the film, I would refer to them as anti-heroes. They kill, they are flawed and they are damn slick. But they all have some good deep down within them. This movie is the darkest movie I have ever seen, and watching the movie is like being at a funeral... a beautiful funeral. I would have to say my favourite character is Elijah Wood, and I won't ruin anything, but let's just say his role is miles away from "Mr. Frodo". I highly recommend Sin City for those who can tolerate two hours of non-stop violence, but for the rest, maybe you should watch The Notebook instead.

It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying, sometimes it means killing a whole lot of people.
