April 1st in US & today in the UK - honestly.. some kindof april fool joke right at us if you ask me. Having said that it was certainly worth the wait.

Plot Summary:
A collection of interweaving stories all based in the corrupt, crime infested hell-hole that is Sin City. Heavily influenced by film-noir, the main storylines concern a hulking brute called Marv (Mickey Rourke), who is seeking the murderer of a beautiful woman who was killed while asleep in bed with him; an ex-photographer Dwight (Clive Owen) who accidentally kills a woman beating hero cop and has to cover it up; and a soon-to-be-retiring policeman Hartigan (Bruce Willis) who is incarcerated for a crime he didn't commit. All based on the brilliant graphic novels "Sin City", "The Big Fat Kill" and "That Yellow Bastard", written and illustrated by Frank Miller.

Robert Rodriguez, who brought us From Dusk Till Dawn, the Mariachi trilogy & the Spy Kids Trilogy ;) has now gone back to his roots & come up with a novel concept for this day & age, partnering up with Frank Miller that is sure to kick off trends.

Overall Impressions:
Awesome collaboration of film noir, graphic novel & absolute style. Not the best of original storylines, but when you watch it, you really won't care about that, besides it needed to be faithful to the novels too. :) Having said this I can see it won't be a universal taste since not everyone likes film-noir or even graphic novels, I'd say its more of a treat for the fans of both and may educate the younger generation into the style which currently is an alien concept to them, maybe even get people to pickup a graphic novel.
