SIN CITY
(Miller/Rodriguez / 2005 / USA / 35mm / 123mins / cert18)
(Mon 15th-Wednes 17th / 9pm / £2)

Respect must be given to director Robert Rodriguez for having such belief in the material of Frank Miller's sprawling crime-noir comic books to
produce such a faithful adaptation on film. Miller has himself had some flirtations with Hollywood(Tm) taking time out of his 30 year writing
career to script a few of the Robocop movies, but in SIN CITY his
storytelling vision (his sense of pace, style and humour) takes centre stage as NEVER before with a Blockbuster makeover of a lowly comic strip. 3 noir tales interweave PulpFiction style with a dazzling cast, notably Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen and Benito Del Toro, with an oppressive black and white urban backdrop flecked with all manner of colourful bodily
fluids. Much better in the cinema than on some pokey dvd!
