Sin City is in no way a film for women. The men are the cruising, bruising heroes (or villains), the women are either prostitutes, pole-dancers or rely on the opposite sex. Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, Sin City follows it's paperback counterpart to the tee. It looks incredible; the black and white film-noir effect is smart and eye-catching. Every so often a streak of colour enters the mix to emphasise a point. Split into three episodes, Sin City feels like a loose sequel of Pulp Fiction, but with more violence. This and it's huge A-list cast can't stop it feeling a little boring and dragged out. Director Rodriguez should have saved the first scene til last. Mickey Rourke and the silent but violent Elijah Wood are the most engaging.
3/5
