Sin City Robert Rodriguez / Frank Miller 2005 USA Three stories set in a noirish, rainy city, all involving tough guys protecting women. There is something brilliant in all of this; lovingly stylized to the look and feel of the original graphic novels, presented in stark black and white with dazzling splashes of colour. The dialogue is deliberately over-the-top and the violence utterly ridiculous, with two-dimensional characters simply killing themselves to death. Alas, it is overlong, and if it maintains its style throughout, the lack of character and narrative depth becomes mindnumbing after a while...unless of course this is your kind of thing.
