Review of Sin City (2005) by Robyn N — 29 Nov 2014
"Sin City" is pure film noir and crime pulp and one of the best - if not the best - comic book adaptations brought to film ever done. Extreme brutality and full of rampant violence, visually arresting cinematography, and nothing short of pure genius.
Robert Rodriguez uses a combination of live action performed by real actors while incorporating a technique of colorization and filming in black in white to transform Frank Miller's graphic novels into moving pictures.
There isn't a screenplay written for the film --instead-- it's more like a comic book brought to life and pumped with steroids. While other directors have attempted to remain faithful to the look and "feel" of their source material, Robert Rodriguez has taken things a step further by using Frank Miller's graphic novels as storyboards and immersing the audience neck-deep in the noir currents of Miller's immorality.
The end result is a one-of-a-kind film that's both incredibly offensive and undeniably entertaining,.
