Sin City (2005)

Genre: Film Noir

Directed by: Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller

Starring: Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis

Running time: 124 minutes

Sin City offers a collection of short stories inspired by Frank Miller’s graphic novel collection of the same name.

With a loaded cast on board, Sin City is above all else a visual tour de force. Shot mostly in black and white, with color being added to certain objects and characters, this film is a wonderful work of cinematography. The stories are filled with violence, but the visual signature of Sin City makes the whole thing beautiful and artistic.

Some of the acting was a bit weak at times, in spite of the big names involved, but this is a flick well worth seeing for the visual aspect of it.
