The Eisner Award-winning comic series Sin City comes to life in this live-action feature adaptation from director Robert Rodriguez and creator Frank Miller. Interweaving multiple storylines from the series' history, this violent crime noir paints the picture of the ultimate town without pity through the eyes of its roughest characters. There's the street thug Marv (Mickey Rourke), whose desperate quest to find the killer of a prostitute named Goldie (Jaime King) will lead him to the foulest

A worthwhile piece of eye candy.
If Raymond Chandler and Daffy Duck could have produced a child, Sin City would be their baby.
Can bring more pain than satisfaction.
In the end, I have to say I liked Sin City almost in spite of myself.
Robert Rodriguez is one audaciously talented man.
It's a hard, viciously funny little movie, one with all the subtlety of a billy club. But there's artistry here, too.
Sin City is a lot of things, but most of all, it's fun. It may not be for everyone, but everyone should see it once anyway, just to find out if it's for them.
This extremely violent movie is NOT for kids.
On one hand, Robert Rodriguez drenches "Sin City" in his usual monsoon of ironic, macho macabre. On the other, do-gooder pride prove as dangerous as broads or bad guys, offering a thematically gray complement to arctic-white, inkblot-black visuals.
My own trajectory while watching Sin City--excited, bored, offended...back to bored...roll credits
Sin City is the most accurate adaptation ever done of a comic book.
Hot chicks, big guns, bad ass bruisers, what more could you ask for?
"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.
A Ground-Breaking Piece of Film-Noir Fantasy.
The folks at Miramax have gone all out for the Blu-ray release of Sin City.
...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.
While the book succeeded in pushing the boundaries of its medium, the film merely feels like a triumph of technology.
About as close to geek heaven as a film adaptation has ever been.
For those who revel in this kind of adrenaline rush spectator sport, let the games begin.
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.
Immensely likable and ultimately cool.
The visuals is stark and beautiful. Told in a very comic booky kind of way, "Sin City" kinda fails in storytelling but is visually dazzling.

'Sin City' is a delicious kick in the ass for most movie goers, and thats what makes it so appealing. The cinematography and art direction are brilliantly well done and most of the acting is top notch. Its a hard movie to watch for some film goers, but if you can swallow its cruel intentions, you will reap the
