There is Spiderman, Superman, the Punisher, Wonderwoman, Batman and many other comic book adaptations floating around since as early as the seventies. Most of these were loosely translated onto film, maintaining the main character and a love interest or two. Frank Miller's Sin City is without a doubt the greatest adaptation of them all.
Using unique camera techniques and dialogue directly out of the graphic novels it is no wonder that this ranks #60 on IMDb's top 250. With ingenious choreography and different yet intertwining stories taking us through Basin City this movie is spectacular and incomparable to any others like it...expect for the fact that there are no others like it.
The acting is top notch, especially that of Clive Owen (Dwight), Bruce Willis (Hartigan) and who could possibly forget Mickey Rourke in arguably his best role as Marv. This is a must see for older audiences who will not shy away from graphic violence and some admittedly gratuitous nudity scenes.
I score this a 10/10 and am eagerly anticipating the sequel!
