Sin City is the most accurate adaptation ever done of a comic book.

"Sin City" is a high contrast tour de force cinematic adaptation of Frank Miller's hugely popular and wickedly grotesque graphic novel homage to the hard-boiled style of Dashell Hammett and Mickey Spillane.

Eager to blaze trails for desktop moviemaking, what did these artists do? Throw fuel on the fires of viewers' basest appetites.

While the book succeeded in pushing the boundaries of its medium, the film merely feels like a triumph of technology.

For all its visual razzle-dazzle and enjoyably bad-ass attitude, there's something curiously empty about Sin City.

The world Miller and Rodriguez have created is so bleak and nasty it's difficult to see what lasting value any sort of redemption could have here.

If Raymond Chandler and Daffy Duck could have produced a child, Sin City would be their baby.

For the guys it’s Rodriguez’s best film by far and a treat for fans of good-looking girls in black-and-white, of classic film noir and of imaginative ultra-violence.

Su verdadera fuerza radica en una historia que refleja el grado de degradación social, espiritual y emocional al que podemos llegar los habitantes de las grandes ciudades.
