Hartigan from the Sin City novels.
Sin City - The Premise
Sin City stars an impressive cast that
includes Bruce Willis, Steve Buscemi, Benicio del Toro, Jessica Alba, Mickey
Rourke, Maria Bello, Kate Bosworth, Michael Douglas, Clive Owen, Carla Gugino,
Josh Hartnett, Jaime King, Brittany Murphy, Marley Shelton, Elijah Wood,
Christopher Walken, Rick Gomez, Jason Douglas, Nick Stahl, Makenzie Vega,
Katherine Willis, Rosario Dawson, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Michael Madsen.
How is that for a cast ensemble?
Other than a large cast, Sin City offers three of what are considered
the best stories out of the Sin City graphic novels. The selected
stories are the original Sin City novel, A Big Fat Kill,
and That Yellow Bastard. The main characters for these stories
go in the same order- Marv [Mickey Rourke], Dwight [Clive Owen], and Hartigan
[Bruce Willis]. While each story does occur in Sin City, each one
is different from the other. Only during certain scenes do any of these
main characters ever cross paths.
So, that is what the movie of Sin City is-- Three tales about three
different men and a highly volatile event that each took part in. Along
the way people die, fall in love, we see boobs, and people get blown to
tiny bits. I couldn't ask for anymore... or could I?
Dwight is quite smooth with the ladies. Sin City - Comic to Film
One of the most important elements to fans for
comic book adaptations is that the finalized film presented is true to its
source. On this note, Sin City exceeds beyond all other comic book/graphic
novel adaptations. The only area where the film may have missed is by not
having Jessica Alba topless [like she is in the novels]. She plays the most
popular stripper in Sin City, how did she get that way without
showing anything? Ok, ok, this is not a big deal, but this is the only difference
I could think of from the entire film.
Sin City [the movie], is right on with Frank Miller's graphic novels.
Every piecie of dialogue, every single shot, looks and sounds like it was
taken directly from the novels; and they were! Robert Rodriguez did not
edge away from the source material a bit; a fact that is supported by having
Frank Miller co-direct the film.
If you have not read the Sin City novels, get ready for an in-your-face
tale of brutality, honor, betrayal, and love. If you are familiar with the
Sin City material, expect to see this movie match all dreamed expectations
from the novels.
Jessica Alba is smoking hot Sin City - The Movie
Sin City attacks all your senses and slams
you into your theatre chair with its unrelenting style and brutality. The
film avoids the standard clichés and puts everybody's lives, including
our most favorite characters, on the line. Also, this is not one of
those happy stories where the good guys always win. These are stories about
Sin City, a place that host's cannibalism, murder, rape, abuse,
prostitution, crooked cops, and cool ass villains/heroes.
And, last but not least, the film noir cinematography for Sin City
is truly amazing. The black and white is completed with a selective color
that results in truly astonishing shots. Characters eyes, colored lamps,
sirens, red fabric, and red make-up are just a few of the things that are
highlighted through selective color. You should not have any complaints
about that black & white, as it not only fits the film [based off the
art in the novels] but helps keep its MPAA rating down at a strong R. Remember
in Kill Bill when the scenes had to become black & white? Well,
the same goes for Sin City, but the whole film must remain this
color.
That last thing I want to do is make a shout-out to the cast in Sin
City for the risks they took to create this movie. For those who were
willing to play sleezie bad guys, for the major actors willing to play the
parts of extras, and for the gals who didn't mind showing some breast or
butt crack to stick to the theme of the novels. Thanks to all of you.
Final Judgment: Sin City is sadistic, it is masochistic, and I loved every f@*kin minute of it. The Film gives you a knock straight to the teeth and leaves you wanting more. Should easily become a top 5 film for the year.
