I also like the comic book feel as well.
I enjoyed SIN CITY a lot more than that crappy THE SPIRIT. Frank Miller sucks as a director without Robert Rodriguez.

RUNNING SCARED[color=#990000][/color]
Directed by Wayne Kramer

Produced by Andrew Pfeffer

Written by Wayne Kramer

Starring Paul Walker
Cameron Bright
Vera Farmiga
Chazz Palminteri
Alex Neuberger


The movie begins with Joey Gazelle (Paul Walker) driving with a boy, Oleg Yugorsky (Cameron Bright). Oleg has a blood stain on his shirt, implying that he had been shot. The movie then flashes back eighteen hours before the unfolding scene. Joey, a low-level mafioso, is attending a drug deal with his boss Tommy (Johnny Messner) and associate Sal when a trio of masked men burst in and try to steal the drugs and money. When Tommy shoots one of the hoods, a shootout commences in which all the drug dealers and two of the hoods are killed, forcing their leader to flee. Tommy then discovers that the men were dirty cops. As the mobsters flee in a panic, Tommy gives the murder weapons to Joey, telling him to get rid of them.

Rather than dispose of the guns, Joey goes home to his wife Teresa (Vera Farmiga) and son Nicky (Alex Neuberger), and hides the guns in the basement while Nicky and his friend from next door, Oleg, secretly watch. Oleg returns home to his abusive stepfather Anzor Yugorsky (Karel Roden), the outcast nephew of the Russian mob boss Ivan Yugorsky (John Noble), and battered mother Mila (Ivana Miličević). When Anzor becomes belligerent towards Oleg, Oleg shoots him with a nickel-plated .38 that he had stolen from Joey's basement. Next door, the Gazelle family is disrupted by the gunshots and Joey rushes next door. He finds Anzor wounded, and Oleg gone. When Anzor describes the weapon to Joey, he realizes that Oleg had stolen one of the murder weapons, and rushes out in a frantic search to find Oleg and the gun

You've not given your review on SIN CITY.

The most literal translation of a graphic novel (don’t call it a ‘comic book’ – I’ve learned that lesson the hard way) to film yet, “Sin City” doesn’t settle for just using Frank Miller’s stories – The Hard Goodbye, The Big Fat Kill, and That Yellow Bastard – as jumping off points. Instead, filmmaker/digital devotee Rodriguez chose to shoot the movie sticking to the graphic novels as close as cinematically possible, even going as far as using Miller’s dialogue in the film. The result is not so much simply a movie as it is a whole new film-going experience. Rodriguez combined his love of film noir with the desire to bring “Sin City” to the screen and created, along with co-director/"Sin City" guru Frank Miller, an ultra-violent explosion of blood, guts, and gore that’s so highly stylized, the shock value is somewhat lessened while the film remains true to the dark world of Miller’s “Sin City.”

@georgio

I heard that Sin City 2 is coming up and it would feature its own host of all stars including Johnny Depp. I can't wait. Also Sin City is a masterpiece, the instant action and crazy dialogue and the black and white concept. Gave a friend the movie and I didn't rest for a week.

Running Scared started well and deceitfully with the remainder packing all the junk. Stupid film

Ok, it's a wrap!

@Kay 17
Sin City 2 is coming up alright. But not this year.
