Amazon.com:
Brutal and breathtaking, Sin City is Robert Rodriguez's stunningly realized vision of Frank Miller's pulpy comic books. In the first of three separate but loosely related stories, Marv (Mickey Rourke in heavy makeup) tries to track down the killers of a woman who ended up dead in his bed. In the second story, Dwight's (Clive Owen) attempt to defend a woman from a brutal abuser goes horribly wrong, and threatens to destroy the uneasy truce among the police, the mob, and the women of Old Town. Finally, an aging cop on his last day on the job (Bruce Willis) rescues a young girl from a kidnapper, but is himself thrown in jail. Years later, he has a chance to save her again.


Read our interview with Frank Miller.
Based on three of Miller's immensely popular and immensely gritty books (The Hard Goodbye, The Big Fat Kill, and That Yellow Bastard), Sin City is unquestionably the most faithful comic-book-based movie ever made. Each shot looks like a panel from its source material, and director Rodriguez (who refers to it as a "translation" rather than an adaptation) resigned from the Directors Guild so that Miller could share a directing credit. Like the books, it's almost entirely in stark black and white with some occasional bursts of color (a woman's red lips, a villain's yellow face). The backgrounds are entirely digitally generated, yet not self-consciously so, and perfectly capture Miller's gritty cityscape. And though most of Miller's copious nudity is absent, the violence is unrelentingly present. That may be the biggest obstacle to viewers who aren't already fans of the books and who may have been turned off by Kill Bill (whose director, Quentin Tarantino, helmed one scene of Sin City). In addition, it's a bleak, desperate world in which the heroes are killers, corruption rules, and the women are almost all prostitutes or strippers. But Miller's stories are riveting, and the huge cast--which also includes Jessica Alba, Jaime King, Brittany Murphy, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Elijah Wood, Nick Stahl, Michael Clarke Duncan, Devin Aoki, Carla Gugino, and Josh Hartnett--is just about perfect. (Only Bruce Willis and Michael Madsen, while very well-suited to their roles, seem hard to separate from their established screen personas.) In what Rodriguez hopes is the first of a series, Sin City is a spectacular achievement. --David Horiuchi

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - AWESOME AND DESTINED TO BECOME A CULT CLASSIC
The acting is great , the movie is awesome for it's comic book style. I can't guarantee you will like this , but hey , i did. highly recommended.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Grim and Gritty Modern Noir
WARNING: This film contains graphic stylized violence including torture, as well as sexuality/nudity, coarse language, and disturbing themes.

Only a sick and twisted mind could conceive of the warped stories that are found in the graphic novel series Sin City. Frank Miller is just such a mind. His morbid fascinations with corrupt authority figures, hypocritical religions, sleazy yet strong-willed women, and violent anti-heroes are thrust into the spotlight in his work. With his comic ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - AMAZON REWRITE YOUR DESCRIPTION!
I recently wasted a sellers time along with my own because AMAZON provided the description of the DIRECTOR'S CUT on this page instead of the run-of-the-mill theatrical cuts description.. Now I am left with a useless DVD and a mailing fee that I do not feel I need to pay due to AMAZON'S complacency with their product descriptions.

I DO LOVE THE MOVIE THOUGH...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excelent Movie
Great two disc set with graphic novel. The extras CD is the one to watch.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Let the unhelpful votes begin!!!!!!
I'm sure this movie has its fanatics.
I'm not one of them, sorry.
I loved the way it was filmed.
Tripped out color with black and white.
The pretty colors aside, this movie is just one gross out after another.
I had a hard time watching the entire thing.
It's just one stupid story after another, with violence that is so graphic and unnecessary I wanted to turn the DVD off.
I actually watched the entire thing and was grateful when it was over.
I'm not ... Read More
