Re: RARA-AVIS: Sin City

Filled with every clich頡vailable , every bombastic device available, all the graphix EFX that top $ can buy, siliconed and surgically implanted acting, Sin City is a very sad parody of both the very good BD it came from and any type of film noir, even Œmodern¹ ones ࠬa pulp fiction/reserv.dogs... To compare it to Chinatown, or Bad Lieutenant...is or would be quite astonishing to say the least...
