Details

Welcome to Sin City. This town beckons to the tough, the corrupt, the brokenhearted. Some call it dark… Hard-boiled. Then there are those who call it home — Crooked cops, sexy dames, desperate vigilantes. Some are seeking revenge, others lust after redemption, and then there are those hoping for a little of both. A universe of unlikely and reluctant heroes still trying to do the right thing in a city that refuses to care.

Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
SlyGuy21 While I don't think it's as good as the second one, I'm glad I saw it a second time. I'll be the first to admit that I changed my opinion on this, and while I'd still like to read the comics as opposed to see this again, it is a fun sit. A few minor gripes here and there, like I think Clive Owen is miscast, and "The Big, Fat Kill" segment is the weakest of the three stories, but Rourke is great, and Willis is good. It's not as action focused as the second one, and relies more on narration, but it's an easy sit. A good example of how giving something a second watch can do wonders.
areatw I had a feeling I was going to hate this movie, and I was right. I only watched it in the hope that I would be pleasantly surprised, but nope... I disliked it just as much as I thought I would. The only positive point I have to make about this film is how it looks. There's no doubt that this film has style in abundance - it's a visual feast. In fact, the visuals were the only thing that kept me watching.Everything else about 'Sin City' I didn't like, from the wafer thin storyline to the ridiculously over-the-top violence. I normally don't mind violence in films but the violence in 'Sin City' was excessive to the point where it became totally meaningless. So, all in all, not my type of film at all. 'Sin City' oozes style but offers nothing in just about every other area.
javi-y-se-acabo This is what we could call an accurate adaptation of a comic book into a movie. This is what it could be the best adaptation of something like this. It has many of the images similar to the comic ones and that's something very good.It tells the story of three different men who have to deal with the criminal problems that are around Basin City. This might not be very well summed up, but it's better to watch it by yourself. The three main stories are interconnected with each other in a very good way, with some characters appearing in other stories, or with the mention of certain places or actions. Although there were some parts I felt like I was missing something in the story, but I could not tell what exactly was missing.One of the best parts of the movie is the whole cast, and despite being a lot of great actors, they all have time to shine, even if it's a few minutes. From Bruce Willis, Michael Rourke, Clive Owen, Benicio del Toro or Elijah Wood, to Jessica Alba, Carla Gugino, Rosario Dawson, Alexis Bledel or Jaime King. I specially loved the characters of Michael Rourke, Rosario Dawson and Bruce Willis.The other great thing are the visuals. I think I have never seen something like this before. It is like a direct copy of the comic pictures and the visuals used are amazing, all in black and white except in some cases where you can see the red of the blood or the yellow and golden of the hair. If I have something bad to say about it it's that the music at parts felt like out of place in comparison with the images, for example when Hartigan (Bruce Willis) is entering in the Roark Farm, that part was a bit odd fitting the images, but there were also other parts where it fitted very well. A very recommendable movie for all the comic book or graphic novel fans and also for all of those who enjoy a lot R rated movies. Also I have to say that Quentin Tarantino was an invited director in one of the stories so if you're a fan of him, you will also enjoy this a lot."Turn the right corner in Sin City, and you can find anything..."
Leofwine_draca Robert Rodriguez assembles an all-star cast for this grimy, bullet-laden, and rather depressingly downbeat film noir offering, which offers slim, testosterone-fuelled plot lines and violence that brims over the edge at every opportunity. To say too much is to spoil the effect; suffice to say that the black and white movie looks brilliant, with engaging scripting and fantastic acting from the principal line-up, and really puts across the look and feel of a hard-knuckle comic book.The casting is brilliant, with only a dodgy turn from a miscast Clive Owen ruining things; Bruce Willis's hardbitten cop is another fine addition to his stellar career whilst an unrecognisable Mickey Rourke has his best comeback in ages. The girls kick ass and the villains are slimy; in particular the loathsome bad guys are the best parts in the film. There's Nick Stahl as creepy paedophile the Yellow Bastard; Elijah Wood as a fantastic cannibalistic serial killer, and finally Benicio del Toro as a slimy woman-hater. The violence is endless and bone-breaking, with limb-lopping galore and all manner of gruesome torture to engage the crowd. Not sure of the rewatchability of the piece but for the first viewing, SIN CITY is a breath of fresh air.
