It isn't that often I go out from the cinema with such a satisfying feeling for having watched such a great movie. This is surely one of the very few movies that has given me the credit to have such glorious and satisfying feeling. Probably the best movie I've watched this year and the year isn't ended yet.
This movie is casted of surely almost all actors you know or recognize either their faces or names - names such like Mickey Rourke, Rutger Hauer, Nick Stahl, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis, Alexis Bledel, Jessica Alba, Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, Michael Madsen and a few more. This movie is parted by a few histories that is tied to each other and make new ways to new stories and new mysteries. The first story is a young charming man (Josh Hartnett) who kills an unbeknown st woman who believes he loves her (it's how he gets to kill his victims). The second story is about Hartigan (Bruce Willis) who is the only last good cop left in the sin city. He is fixed by the mind of finding Nancy Callahan, 11, who is kidnapped by the town's senator's son (Nick Stahl) who later turns to be the yellow and disgusting man. He arrives in time, killing his assistants and, to last, shooting the ear and the cock off the kidnapper, saving the pretty and very scared girl. But he is betrayed by his friend, another cop, and is shot a few times. He finds himself waking up in the hospital, accused for having killed the other six girls and kidnapped this pretty girl Nancy who he actually saved. He gets into prison and eight years later, he is prepared for revenge. The third is about Marv (Mickey Rourke) who has a glorious night with Goldie, but finds her murdered besides him on the morning, making him looking for the murderer who did this, at any cost. It becomes a thrilling hunt that may finish a few lives, making a way to the person who is behind everything, the villain you never would ever imagine... or dream about. Also, another story is about Dwight (Clive Owen), who comes to the Old Town where the whores have their own laws and their own business. He is there for a business - because of Jackie (Benicio del toro) who has been with his last whore (Brittany Murphy). It turns about to be that the girls make the task of stopping him themselves - but what they don't know was that he was a cop, making the resting between the whores and the cops turning into a war... if not they are stopping it before it is too late.
Sin City is no usual movie. The visual effects are very unlike the others you've seen - it's all based on comic book-like, making it feel that you are the audience behind the events into a comic book, when it actually is a movie you are watching. It feels real, so real, that you just keep your eyes on the movie, afraid of missing anything meaningful, anything interesting or anything great and magnificent, or afraid of missing any special character. The movie is all black and white except from the eyes that are colored (either blue, green, brown or whatever), the yellow man (Nick Stahl), the Goldie hairs of Goldie and a red dress. Blood can turn to be red sometimes.
It is filmed in a real action way, a way that make this movie real, thrilling and bloody. I have never liked action movies that much before, but I really really like this movie, despite all violent scenes... it is despite everything a fine story of violence, fighting for your people against all others, finding your loving one, making murder for revenging your loving one's death, truth and corrupts. It is more bizarre than the reality but it is such a well-done movie gathered by all great actors into one and same movie and all great visual effects. The story ain't stupid either, and the characters are very different and cool.
I enjoyed this movie fully, never being bored or missing anything even a second... Couldn't practically blink... was completely obsessed.
