Overview
Welcome to Sin City. This town beckons to the tough, the corrupt, the brokenhearted. Some call it dark… Hard-boiled. Then there are those who call it home — Crooked cops, sexy dames, desperate vigilantes. Some are seeking revenge, others lust after redemption, and then there are those hoping for a little of both. A universe of unlikely and reluctant heroes still trying to do the right thing in a city that refuses to care.
This is the kind of film that you’re probably going to really really like or really really hate. I would absolutely put myself into the former category.
The movie is made up of three different stories taken from the comic book. The film is shot entirely in green screen and the backdrops are unique in that they are almost completely black and white while the foreground does have rich color in it. The result is a film that is even darker than “The Dark Knight”.
The acting, direction and stories are fantastic. The nice thing about this film is that the backdrop allows the story to go in any direction. There is no time spent on backstories or anything like that. You’re dropped right into the story.
One warning: the movie is extremely violent but the violence is rather cartoonish.
