Sin City (2005)
Director: Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez
Movie review
From Time Out New York
The good news is that directors Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez have brought the nihilistic noir comic to the big screen without compromising the outrageous violence. But it's also kept the series' hard-boiled-to-death narration, which has all the grace of a fiery zeppelin. And while the carbon-copy visuals are impressive, the movie becomes less an adaptation than a replication. Some viewers will drool over the high ain't-it-coolness factor, but while the book succeeded in pushing the boundaries of its medium, the film merely feels like a triumph of technology.Author: DF
