Dear People that actually read this, Thank you for reading this. I love movies and I had considered doing this but I was always worried no one would read what I wrote. Of course not many do,but I want to thank the small number that do. FilmAnalyst P.S.: The review I am writing as you can see is of Sin City. I will praise the heck out of it. It really is a great film for it's own reasons. I really like it. Though I must tell you this. This film is absolutely insane. The violence, gore , all of it is really disturbing and kind of messed up. Really I just wanted to warn you about this. Sin City is probably the most visually engrossing film I have ever seen. I often wonder why CGI is really not that good these days and yet now I know. Because it is not used correctly. Sin City was shot mostly in front of green screens with backgrounds put in later. It looks like the comic book and what a great look that is. See Sin City is a unfathomably violent crime tale that could have come of disgusting and putrid, but the visual style draws you in and makes you love it.The crisp and clean black and white is great while all the colors pop and suck you in. There are moments of incredible violence where all that you can do is ignore it and be shocked at the visuals on the screen. Sin City has quite a simple story, or should I say stories. The film follows a number of thinly connected events in Sin City. One being a cop who is betrayed and comes back for revenge, one being a man avenging the woman he loves so on and so forth. They are all simple to the benefit of the film. They all have a part to play giving you the character of the city through it's inhabitants. But really you are there for the visuals and each story utilizes them in a different way. As far as performances go I'm surprised they are as good as they are. Most actors are not very good at acting with CGI and everyone is surprisingly good here. The standout is Mikey Rorke as a man trying to avenge the love of his life. The movie is taken up most by his story and he own the role. Bruce Willis also shows up playing a cop who needs to protect a girl. Some carreer best work even if the acting is mostly in narration. I have to give special mention as well to Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings) when his character is on screen he says nothing yet processes such a presence and uneasiness that it almost transcends everything else on screen. As mentioned before the camera work with the CGI is incredible. Robert Rodriguez the director has always been one to shoot his own films and he really has gotten good at it. Sin City as I warned before is an incredibly disturbing and violent film, but it uses it all as well as the visuals, stories, and characters to it's advantage. Why I have not mentioned a con. because I really haven't found one. Of course don't see it if you are shy to violence,but if you aren't I recommend you see it. Sin City gets a 10 out of 10. This is the whole film shot in green screen sped up. Odd music,but really cool.
