Frank Miller's - Sin City

saw Frank Miller's ''Sin City'' last night, written and directed by Miller, a big comics writer/artist of the 70's & 80's, with assistance from Roberto Rodriguez (El Mariachi) and of course needless to say, some special guest directing from Tarantino .One of the best films I've seen in this year , unfortunately watched it on DVD and not on the big screen. Filmed in black and white with tinges of colour, with copious volumes of blood spurting white and red, it's grisly,super-violent (short axe in the balls) yet visual visceral joy,a great post-modern noir flick. A tremendous performance from Mickey Rourke, who stole the show as Marv, a pumped up, ugly, latex faced, pill-popping, hooker boning, psycho-killer , covered in white luminescent band-aids and constantly changing into the long coats of his freshly killed victims. Great performances from Clive Owen of recent ''Closer'' fame , Benicio del Toro with a pistol part in his forehead, Jessica Alba's succulent cow-girl act and a not so great one from boring Bruce Willis ! Not for the faint-hearted or humourless !!
