Sin City (2005)

You might say that nobody could forget Sin City, but we beg to differ! Directors Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez were actually the first to forget about it and what it actually was. If they hadn’t forgotten, they would have made a proper sequel, rather than the disappointing Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

Sin City was unique in the sense that it brought to life a graphic novel. The movie was done in black and white, although a few select aspects were in color. The visual style was perfectly suited to the atmosphere of a neo-noir crime movie, and had a tremendous impact. The loosely connected stories included in the film just added to its appeal.

This was Sin City, which might have been Bruce Willis’ last decent performance. Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, and Clive Owen, and a number of other actors rounded out the excellent cast. Fans screamed for a sequel for years, but when it came out, it was already too late.

Do you remember Sin City’s impact when it was released in 2005?
