    Arrow 'Sin City' -amazing film, Max Payne lovers enter!

    This is one of the best films I've seen in a while, most of it is shot with what is best described as a 'Max Payne' camera, -no bullet time, just the colours and shades used.

    Check the Trailers

    Stars..
    Bruce Willis, Elijah Wood, Benicio Del Toro, the kid from Terminator 3 and loads of fit gals

    Quentin Tarantino did parts of the directing, so you know its gonna be good

    Checkout the Imdb page for it




    Can safely say the best film I've seen this year

    Enjoy people!

    (sorry if this is a re-post)

    -edit, forgot to say, this is based on the old comics, not that I've read any of them...

    -double edit, they have two hanzo swords in the film

    It's a great, great movie if you can get over the cheesy monologues.

    I saw it in Canada and it's well worth of watch. Easily the best film that I've seen this year so far.

    I've not read the graphic novels either but apparently it's a frame-by-frame rendition of them. Very cool.

    Its funny how many times I keep seeing the Max Payne reference Check out the old graphic novels and you will find Max payne borrowed from Sin City. I think this is the only movie of the year I actually want to see

    It does look cool. Unfortunately I may have to see it on my own, my wife's a total wimp when it comes to screen violence.

    I saw it in Canada


    It's been out in North America for a couple of weeks now. God knows why it's taking so long to be released over here. There's been posters up for it on the tube for a good few weeks too.

    I read about you seeing it in Canada, but cky2k lives in Cardiff and didn't mention seeing it abroad...

    It sounds really good!

    I'll second that, its a damn fine film... graphically not as violent as some I've seen, but then this is a highly stylised violence, so your imagination does a lot of the work... well worth seeing, very much so, yes.

    I thought it was great, wrote my Film Studies essay on it

    If you own the graphic novels, take them with you to see it, you can follow the movie shot for shot
