Movie Review: Sin City

Summary: Dark, "comic book" style, film noir about murder, torture , and all things violent.

Rating: 4.0 out of 10

Review: Visually, this movie was great. It combined film noir with a good dark comic book style. You felt as if the comic book had come alive and you were watching the story from inside the book. The problem was with the violence. About half of the way through the movie I was hoping that it would end so that I didn't have to watch another torture scene. There were a lot of torture scenes. It felt like a Quentin Tarantino- style film (in fact, he was a guest director). You can tell this was a Frank Miller movie, though. It had the same kind of look as 300. Another problem was that the plot was pretty confusing. I normally enjoy a confusing plot, but this one was kind of hard to follow. Maybe I closed my eyes too many times. If you like Quentin Tarantino, you may like this movie. It was not for me.
