As a fan of the original game, I was curious about Sin: The Movie. The original PC game was no masterpiece but it had fun level design, good FPS action and a kick-ass wisecracking hero in John Blade. Reading some of the reviews and ratings, I was cautious about watching this one. The series has been dead in the water since 2006 when the sequel series ‘Sin: Episodes’ was cancelled. Other than those two games (and a planned remaster), this is the only other piece of media in the series available to fans. So, I decided to check it out regardless and see what the hubbub (hate) was about.
This only resembles the original game in three departments: the character designs, names and the fact that Sinclair is the main villain. As a result, it’d be easy to constantly scrutinize the differences and…

Oh boy, this is a strange one.
SiN is a 1998 video game set in the year 2037, the police has been fazed out and private companies and muscle fulfil the role of law enforcement. You play as John R Blade, head of security company HardCorps, and the story follows you going after Elexis Sinclaire, head of SinTek, as she appears to be behind the violent mutants encountered throughout the game.
I'm not going to go into the video games any further, as the movie isn't so much a sequel to them as it is an adaptation, but its worth reading the plot summary for the games to understand the characters and themes in the movie better.
The movie is hardly a masterpiece. It's unnecessarily dark and gritty in contrast to the source, and it starts by immediately killing off a supporting character from the…

I don’t usually write reviews but I think I’ve decided to start writing more, because it can help me remember how I felt about things I’ve seen in the past and perhaps offer some insight for someone interested in finding out more about the show in order to make a decision about whether or not to watch it (and since you’re reading this, I assume that someone would be you). Anyways, I usually try not to include spoilers in my reviews but what counts as a spoiler varies from person to person, and I also don’t plan out my reviews, I just make them up as I go. So I’ll warn you now, potential spoilers ahead:
This movie/OVA is pretty bad. The plot makes little sense because practically nothing is explained, which is kind of a given considering they essentially tried to make a full movie in 50 mi…

Sin the Movie is the best worst movie you've never seen.
It adapts an unsuccessful first person shooter game called Sin that tried to compete with the original Half Life. Video game adaptations are known to be terrible and Sin is no exception. Nothing makes sense. Nothing is explained. And this is what makes Sin the Movie the best of the worst movies.
It begins with John Blade, JC and some rando going into a sewer because reasons. JC is then killed by a sewer alligator, I think. Because reasons. John Blade yells "JC" and the scene cuts to a funeral. Some old guy mumbles pretentious dialogue to John Blade and nobody cares what he says. JC's sister, whose name can be abbreviated to JC, requests to see John Blade, but since she is probably unimportant we can skip ahead a couple scenes.

Based on a video game I have never played or seen up to this day, Sin: The Movie is an action oriented anime that continues to provide the perfect reasons on why a majority of video games should never make it to film. Movies like these are almost always atrocious, and Sin isn't very far from the very definition. The only things working in favor of this nightmare are the violence and soundtrack; everything else is pretty much a hot mess with the characters, story, and plot all leading the charge.
I don't know, but there's just something about a man taking a knife straight through the head that is so cool to watch. Especially, when his eyeball goes crooked, and the killer continues to stab his dead body. One thing is for sure, anime newbies and gorehounds will be impressed with the graphic…

Ah, my favourite anime to loathe.
Sin was a fun game, IMO. Even this movie might have made a playable game, if an intensely generic one. But it wasn't a game – it was a movie, and a bad one. From the very start canon is thrown right out the window, closely followed by the splattered brains of the protagonist's fan-beloved partner and friend, JC. If you think that was a spoiler, you're right – it pretty much spoils the entire movie by turning it into a body-horror splatterhouse with an unspeakably awkward sexual tension twist as JC's where-the-hell-did-she-come-from sister, also named JC, joins forces with the guy who killed her brother essentially to act as a living decoration. This flinchworthy cliche-hugging 'edgy' weirdness is the only memorable thing about the entire movie. If you lik…

I'm not going to waste any time with this review. If you are thinking of watching this movie, don't. It might be free on multiple video streaming sites but you won't be able to replace the wasted hour of your life. You might think that I'm overreacting but I can't think of any worse way to spend your time. The movie is based on some 90's shooter that I'd never heard of. Since Sin: The Movie is based on a video game, it's not a big surprise that the plot is totally weak. It had something to do with people getting turned into zombie-mutants and then the protagonists had to storm the antagonist's base to save some girl. It's the kind of thing you'd expect to see in a Saturday morning kids' cartoon. In fact, I might recommend it for young boys if it weren't for all the graphic violence. I gene…

Pretty good action and violence. Story is interesting and they manage to make you care about these characters, even though it's a short OVA. Premise for plot os almost typical of some cyberpunk animes, although I don't think I would consider this one. Villians are well drawn and not the generic type found in Devil May Cry or Guyver. Animation and sound are big movie type quality. Rewatchability is good too due to good action and short run time. You can find it cheap and easy on dvd.
