Warning: Spoiler. If you haven't watched the movie yet, and is still planning to, skip this entry. But if you're not planning to watch the movie, well...I can't do anything about that, can I? But I'm telling you, you don't know what you're missing...


"Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything..."

An all-star cast, action-packed...plus Josh Hartnett and Clive Owen(swoon!swoon!). What more can I ask for from a movie? This movie deserves a two-thumbs up! Yan tuloy, I want to read the graphic novels, but I'm still planning to purchase all the A Series of Unfortunate Events books, and I still lack the fifth book. And I still want other things besides books.
But anyway, back to Sin City, I hardly ate my breakfast a while ago. This is because of a scene from the movie. I admit that I'm a sqeamish person. The sight of blood alone can make me lose my appetite. How much more the sight of Elijah Wood tied up with his legs chopped off revealing...I don't know how to describe it but all I can say is that it is very disgusting to look at. But that's not all. A wolf, which is supposed to be his partner in eating people(yes, Elijah's character Kevin eats people in the movie) comes and...I know you can guess what the wolf did. I mean, you probably know what wolves do, right? Although that part was, let's say, made to look less realistic, it still made me want to throw up. I mean it was gross, right? Like something out of Rotten.
The movie is divided into three stories. That gruesome scene was from the story of Marv, a tough street fighter who risked his life just to avenge a slut whom he slept with for one night and whom he barely knows. This story is the one I liked the least. Partly because of the scene with the wolf and partly because I think getting caught by the police and getting yourself killed in an electric chair all because of a woman you hardly know is stupid. But still, Marv did a very kind (although I think silly) thing.
The second story which is entitled The Big, Fat Kill is the one I liked the best. It is full of action, plus, Clive Owen looked really cool...and cute wearing that coat and fighting off bad guys and the cops with a gun. Plus, the character Miho is soooooooo astig! The story is about Old Town, a place where hookers reside and where the cops stay out of their way because of a truce made between the girls and the police. But Dwight(Clive Owen) along with a deadly girl Miho accidentally killed a hero cop and his friends. And since that was against the rules of the truce, Dwight tried to throw the bodies into a pit where he thought no one could find them. But one of the girls gave them away and so the police and the girls of Old Town went to war against each other once again.
The last story is okay. It is about how a cop rescues an 11-year-old girl, Nancy, from the clutches of an evil child molester who happens to be the only son of a powerful senator. And since the senator is sooo powerful, the police wouldn't believe Nancy when she insisted that Bruce saved her. Instead, they accused Bruce of raping Nancy and when he wouldn't confess, they placed him behind bars. For 8 years, Nancy wrote to Bruce every week, using a different name and was very careful not to give too much information about herself. But one day, the letters stopped arriving. And a hideous yellow creature visited him one day, followed by an envelope with a skin from an index finger of a person which he thought was Nancy's. So he thought that the senator's son had found her. So he did the only thing he could do to get the hell out of there and save Nancy once again: he confessed. Turns out, the two had actually fallen in love with each other. A 19-year-old exotic dancer and an old man(as he liked to call himself in the movie) with a heart disease. And Nick Stahl appeared as the ugly yellow creature with a big tummy. The story's ending was quite sad, actually.
But all in all, I enjoyed the movie. Although I was kinda disappointed because Josh Hartnett's role is very short...and useless. He's not one of the lead characters, he's just an extra. Oh well, at least the movie was entertaining, like they said it is. It was truly astig.
