Sin City

So. Much. Violence. Nonetheless, this movie was one of the most visually stunning films I've ever seen. It was a babe and blood fest, all done up in groovy noir. Highly recommended. As a side note, Mickey Rourke delivers his best performance since...well, ever. The huge number of familiar faces in this film all turn in decent performances, but Rourke, Willis, Owen and Dawson are particularly good. Grade: A-
