It is a neo-noir based on Miller's graphic novel series of the same name. The film is primarily based on three of Miller's works: The Hard Goodbye, about a man who embarks on a brutal rampage in search of his one-time sweetheart's killer; The Big Fat Kill, which focuses on a street war between a group of prostitutes and a group of mercenaries; and That Yellow Bastard, which follows an aging police officer who protects a young woman from a grotesquely disfigured serial killer. The film stars Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Jessica Alba, Benicio del Toro, Brittany Murphy, Elijah Wood, Rosario Dawson, Jaime King, Carla Gugino, Michael Madsen and Nick Stahl, among others. Sin City opened to wide critical and commercial success, gathering particular recognition for the film's unique color processing, which rendered most of the film in black and white but retained or added coloring for select objects. The film was screened at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival in-competition and won the Technical Grand Prize for the film's "visual shaping".

Simply Ok and I think alot of the problem I had with it was while the visuals were very stylish looking with the grays and other streaks of colors mixed in, it grew boring after around 45 Minutes and I kind of lost interest... I'd say Bruce Willis character's story was probably the best and the others were just Ok... I'd rate the violence factor up there with KILL BILL Vol 1, but KILL BILL impressed me alot more and made me have a whole new respect for female superheros like The Bride.. I'll give SIN CITY this much: It was one of the better comic to screen adaptation, at least on par with Spiderman, but While I don't think it's actually necessary that you have to read the comic SIN CITY to understand this movie, it does help.. One other thing that sort of shocked me was seeing a Mother bringing her 2 small children to this.. This definitely isn't a movie for small kids you dumb bitch... Overall Grade: C _________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dmXF3CE04A This kills TDKR At the box office next summer.. Get used to this

It almost always amazes me when parents bring their little ones to an adult themed flick. Get a child sitter or wait to watch the movie at a more convenient time when you don't have to subject your children to things that may rupture their developing psyche. Then we wonder why many of the youth today are so mental. sigh _________________ 'The stars in the sky... Bring tears to my eyes... They're lighting my way... tonight. And I haven't felt so alive..

The critics might praise this or hate it like the reviews suggest, but this is a movie that is clearly not for everyone, including SMALL CHILDREN like that dumb bitch brought to this.. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dmXF3CE04A This kills TDKR At the box office next summer..

Um...you said it is on par with Spider-Man as far as comic book adaptations go and you give it a C. A C is not a good grade, so I logically followed that you gave around the same grade to Spider-Man. By the way, as it is obvious that Sin City won't drop under 60% at RT, can I dictate your sig? _________________ The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Your either going to like SIN CITY or Hate it as the review suggest..
