Sin City
I just got back from seeing the $7 matinee of "Sin City." Based on Frank Miller’s graphic novels, it was one of the most absurdly violent movies I’ve ever seen. Then again, that tends to be the norm when Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino join forces (see “From Dusk Till Dawn”).
With its visually stunning style and first-person narration, the movie goes for a film noir vibe, though it lacks the subtlety of the genre. Sin City is a feast for the senses, but the scarred characters and Tarantino-esque intertwined plotlines didn’t draw me in and make me actually care about what was happening. It was more like watching a gory, overproduced car wreck.
However, I must say that it’s not often that one can see B-movie veterans like Powers Boothe, Rutger Hauer, and Mickey Rourke (nice work!) share the screen with the likes of Bruce Willis and Bencio Del Toro, while holding their own in the process.
