Sin: The Movie Trailers

It is the near future, and the city of Freeport teeters on the verge of total collapse. The twin tides of rampant crime and ruinous graft face only one barrier: the elite strike force HARDCORPS. Led by Colonel John Blade, HARDCORPS is the last force for justice in the darkening city.

Okay, this is a rather bad movie. I'm sorry, it just is. However, it's hilarious in that way! Anyways, on with the plot/summary. The big action hero "John Blade" is a cop, and he's one of those "mean" cops but does it to be nice (you know). And then there's the evil corporation, SiNtech. Which, apparently no one thinks they are evil... Even though they are called SIN and they operate out of a GIANT EVIL looking black TOWER. So it turns out SiN is making crazy monsters to take over the world, and of course Blade is the only one who can stop them. Also, all the other cops are apparently on SiNtechs side, so there. ANYWAYS, this movie is worth watching for the lines "cut him off!" (sounds hilarious) and my all time favorite dialog exchange that goes something like this... "Your hand's cold... Why is it like that" "Well you know what they say." What do they say? They don't tell you, the next line does not allude to it at all. I personally know of no such phrase... Any help is appreciated. One last little observation, all the cars/planes/what-have-you belonging to the cops are all marked 66. Probably making it hard for them to contact each other...I personally have not played much of the game this is "based" on, but I'm sure it is not as bad as this was. Good for a laugh if you have a few friends and are REALLY tired (seriously). This movie is just over-the-top, but in a ludicrous way, things happen that don't make sense, and not in the "smart" or "scary" or "cool" way, in the "what the f... HAHAHA!" way.

#SPOILER#I enjoyed this piece of movie all though I'm not really into stories such as this one, when it all comes to animation. It feels like they focused to much of their energy in the production on violence, gore and general fast action instead of more depth to the story and it's characters. It felt like the plot was OK (all though it could've been a whole lot better, I'd give it a 5) but I desperately felt like I wanted a little bit more, some more depth to the characters.Perhaps they should have made the stories about some of the characters backgrounds a little bit longer. They were good, but all too short in my humble opinion.

This has got to be the worst anime I have ever seen, and I've been watching all the anime I could get my hands on for the better part of a decade. The animation was smooth, but poorly drawn and unimaginative. The narrative of the story had no logical progression, it was just a bunch of cliched action movie scenes played in a random order.There are no real characterisations, yet parts of the movie hinge on the depth of the characters.The funny part is that I hired this because it was based on a game I'd played years earlier that had a great story and great characters! Whahappen?Neither the English or Japanese dub matches the characters mouths - always a sign of something thrown together too quickly.I reiterate, THIS IS THE WORST ANIMATED FEATURE OF ANY DESCRIPTION THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. I want that hour of my life back.

After several failures in the video game movie genre, I went into this not expecting much. What I got was a semi low budget anime film with a great story line. At 60 minutes long it never had time to drag. The animation and voice-overs were above acceptable. The 3-D animation was the only thing that left a bad taste in my mouth. It's too bad that this movie may never get past video game fans to the anime fans that might really enjoy it.
