REVIEWS FOR SIN CITY
Hot chicks, big guns, bad ass bruisers, what more could you ask for?
Apr 29, 2009
"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.
Apr 18, 2009
A Ground-Breaking Piece of Film-Noir Fantasy.

...a gleaming pop revelation, a completely realized vision...

Eager to blaze trails for desktop moviemaking, what did these artists do? Throw fuel on the fires of viewers' basest appetites.
Sep 7, 2007
While the book succeeded in pushing the boundaries of its medium, the film merely feels like a triumph of technology.
Aug 16, 2007
About as close to geek heaven as a film adaptation has ever been.

A worthwhile piece of eye candy.

Top CriticFor those who revel in this kind of adrenaline rush spectator sport, let the games begin.
Mar 28, 2007
For all its visual razzle-dazzle and enjoyably bad-ass attitude, there's something curiously empty about Sin City.
Mar 1, 2007
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.

My own trajectory while watching Sin City--excited, bored, offended...back to bored...roll credits
Sep 20, 2006
Immensely likable and ultimately cool.
May 26, 2006
If Raymond Chandler and Daffy Duck could have produced a child, Sin City would be their baby.
May 12, 2006
Top CriticFor 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.

What an electric cast!
Dec 6, 2005
It is bare, and bold, and necessary.
Dec 6, 2005
An instant movie classic.
Dec 6, 2005
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.
