About this product

Product Information

Adapted from Frank Miller's graphic novels, SIN CITY is Robert Rodriguez's striking film noir infused with fantasy, taking place in a world where it is eternally nighttime and everything is drenched in rain and violence. Using a unique combination of silvery black and white digital photography with occasional flashes of bright color for dazzling punctuation, Rodriguez employs green screen techniques and paints a backdrop around each scene, using Miller's co-direction as his cue to match the original setting as closely as possible. Three stories weave together, occasionally overlapping. With lines delivered flatly in the hard-boiled style of Raymond Chandler, these tales are about crime, love, loss, and being preternaturally tough. In the most caustically dramatic segment, Mickey Rourke plays the fearlessly lovestruck Marv, a trenchcoat-clad beast who falls in love with prostitute Goldie (Jaime King) only to find her murdered by a demonic cannibal (Elijah Wood). In another segment, Bruce Willis plays Hartigan, a rogue cop with a "bum ticker" whose goal in life is to save Nancy (Jessica Alba), an innocent stripper, from a murderous rapist (Nick Stahl). The third segment stars Clive Owen as a detective caught between murdered cop Jackie Boy (Benicio Del Toro) and a slew of lethally dangerous vixens lead by Gail (Rosario Dawson). With blood spurting white, yellow, and yes even red; a roster of hot actors that goes on and on; and sound editing that makes you feel like you're the one being punched in the face, SIN CITY is a gift for fans of Miller's art, loaded with style and grit.

  • A severely underrated classic

    One watches Sin City and it’s equally well done (perhaps better) sequel and wonders: “Who did Frank Miller have to tick off to get this to become so underrated?” For fans of true noir, this is a kairotic moment movie: setting what I think many could argue is THE true break between the black-and-white, grainy, overstated and undervalued crime noirs of the 1950-60’s to what I hope we see more of in the future. Each character was exceptionally well cast. Outstanding displays by Bruce Willis, Elijah Wood, Jessica Alba and Mickey Rourke. Awesome costume and special effects. Anything Rosario Dawson is in should have most noir fans clamoring, anyway. She plays perfectly to the film in both content and thematically. Enough skin and grit to make John Wayne blush and Marilyn Monroe fawn. Gotta love it. The movie plays in a several-overlapping-story-arc confluence that kept me anxious for the next visual treat - and there were many. Beautifully conceptualized cinematography (realize that 90 percent of the scenery was CG). This is the best comic-to-movie adaptation that is out there. Hands down. This is a film that gives a long overdue ode to the pencilers and colorists in trade paperback. God and Hollywood forbid a movie that won’t spoon-feed you the morals and constitutionality of the characters... which is why I think this is as underrated as previously stated. If you have read this far and I don’t think you can watch it and not feel that this was a hidden gem you overlooked for years. In addition to the movie, this comes with a wonderful complete graphic novel (that’s worth it, in and of itself) and a bonus disc with all that stuff that I love to collect but never usually watch anyway. The only way this could be better is if it were on Blu Ray, but that’s a small price to pay for such a great flick. Grab it.

  • I love this movie...

    I loved this movie not because of the sauciness, but of the story of a person whom has destroyed a relationship between another person whom gets big time revenge, but it comes at a price. Oh, so suspenseful, so sexy, so down right bitter sweet revenge at a price to protect a love affair between one another but at a price, if you like this movie about relationships then this is for you..enjoy bitter sweet revenge at a price

  • This is a great adaptation of a phenomenal graphic novel!

    I thoroughly enjoyed this version of an already great film. The commentary provides excellent insight, that makes the movie watching experience much better.
