Aro Favourite Sin City

Dir. Robert Rodriguez, Frank Miller
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Action/Adventure, Science Fiction / Fantasy, Film Noir

Aroview: A sensational slab of stylized and ultra-violent pulp fiction, adapted from Frank Miller's own notorious 'crime noir' comicbooks, and cinematically airbrushed in B&W with loving care.

Set on the mean streets of the metropolis of "Basin City", this is less super-hero than anti-hero, with all three storylines involving disgruntled or disfigured males (Willis, Owen, and an amazing comeback from Mickey Rourke) on the hunt for evildoers, so as to ultimately protect various sultry womenfolk. Rendered almost entirely in a CGI chirascuro of bottomless shadows and glistening surfaces, spotted by the occasional spurt from a burst artery, this is a bravura exercise for dir. Rodriguez.
