Sin City

Sin City

2005

Murder, corruption and cover-ups are all part of Sin City's daily routine in this dark film that weaves three tales from Frank Miller's graphic novels. Marv (Mickey Rourke) is a psychotic outcast who seeks vengeance for Goldie's (Jaime King) murder; Dwight (Clive Owen) kills a cop and must cover it up; and nearly retired cop Hartigan (Bruce Willis) is accused of a crime he didn't commit. Benicio Del Toro, Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson costar.

Hell of a way to end a partnership.

User Reviews

  • Excellent. It was beautifully done. Mickey Rourke was the stand out in this film, who knew. Bruce, Clive, Benicio, and Jessica were great too. Robert Rodriguez did a great job. I had never heard of Frank Miller before this movie; but, from everything that I've seen of his novels since seeing the movie I can tell they put a lot of work and thought into it.
