Sin City

Watched SinCity yesterday,
This is adaptation of Graphic novel and hence the movie is veru stylised with lots of volience and lots of gore.
but I didn't like it that much, it talks of a society that has decayed so much that blood gore and raw strength becomes the norm and survival of fittest means a whole different ball game.
The characters are very two dimensional, I felt that they were not developed, there is no excuse given as to why they are the way they are. the movie is stylised, but that is not all that one looks for. the star cast is very heavy and almost everybody gets lost in the mayhem.
Though the start of the movie was very promising, with strong narrative, and signature style, but the whole thing fizzles down, because I didn't find much substance in the voilence, but just for the heck of it.
A movie that can be avoided, if not for the technique used to bring the novel onto screen
