Debbie and I saw Sin City a couple of days ago, and I've gotta say that I was well impressed. Visually awesome, and pretty full-on, I found it to be a really interesting film to watch.
I saw some comments about the film on a behind the scenes thing and one of them stuck with me, and is pretty on the money. To paraphrase Robert Rodreiguez:
For their time, Film Noir films were right on the edge, were shocking... that's what we wanted to do with this film, to recreate that sense of something that hasn't been seen before, is pushing the boundaries...
Words to that effect anyway. I'd say they succeeded. The content is very film noir, but is brutal and violent and stylised enough to be, for me, genuinely eyebrow raising. It really was a case of "man, I can't believe they showed that".
So, visually very cool, some great performances, and a lot of fun. And styleeee!
The white blood probably helped them to get away with some of the more graphic violence.
