"Sin City" is a comic-book action/adventure, based on the graphic novel series "Sin City" by Frank Miller. The three novels used for this movie were "The Hard Goodbye", "The Big Fat Kill", and "That Yellow Bastard".
Sin City itself is a violent town, where lawlessness and crime rule. In the various tales told, a retiring cop (one of the only good ones in the whole town) tries to rescue a young woman from the untouchable son of a powerful lawmaker. An unstoppable killing machine named Marv looks to avenge "his angel", Goldie...when he wakes up next to her dead body. And Dwight (a killer with a brand-new identity) must try to retrieve a head...before it brings about chaos to the girls of Old Town.
This is not your typical comic book movie. "Sin City" is hard, graphic, and extremely brutal. But the stories are well-told, and the scenery is fittingly dark and dingy. What truly sells this movie, however, are the characters. Even the ones you don't get to know well enough...you see just enough to get you fascinated. And the actors and actresses involved in this movie throw themselves into their parts...almost as if they were truly savoring a chance to cut loose and go wild. Frank Miller (the creator of the series and co-director of the movie) has a guest cameo appearance as the priest in "The Hard Goodbye".
While it is certainly not a movie for younger audiences, any adult fans looking for a great comic book movie or just a solid action film will find "Sin City" a great place to visit.
