My Kinda Town!
Review of Sin City DVD by Soho_Black

Advantages: Unique visual style, violent, bloody and full of dark humour
Disadvantages: That unique style can be a little distracting at first

...the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything. You may even find a film that was very close to never getting made. Frank Miller, the author if the "Sin City" series of graphic novels this film was based on, is not a fan of Hollywood and promised that he would never sell the film rights to his graphic novels. This gave director Robert Rodriguez a bit of a problem, as he was a huge fan of the "Sin City" series and really wanted to turn ...
...get to meet Hartigan, a Sin City cop, who is nearing retirement, but on his way to rescue an 11 year old girl, Nancy, from the clutches of a paedophile, who just happens to be the son of a Senator. His partner tries to stop him, but Hartigan is going in regardless, caring nothing about his age, his heart condition or his foe and concerned only for the safety of the little girl. This is merely an introduction to a character we'll see more of later, ... Read review

Another Kick Ass Film!
Review of Sin City DVD by katygriff

Advantages: Great Story and Acting
Disadvantages: A Bit Gory for Some

Sin City is one of those films that I heard of and really wanted to go and see at the cinema but because it was technically a black and white film, nobody would come with me. Sad but true. Anyway I bought it the day it came out on DVD and let me tell you I was not disappointed. ----- What is it about and who stars in it? Reading from the back of the box. Based on Frank Miller's series of edgy graphic novels, co-directors Miller and Robert Rodriguez ...
...- Behind the scenes of Sin City. English subtitles are available on the DVD. ----- Verdict; Now this film is not from your average comic book. For those who were fans of Frank Millers graphic novels then you will know that the entire comics were in black and white. Strange for a comic book you may think but they were very violent. I have only recently just had a look at them due to being a fan of the film and was quite surprised in the content. ... Read review

Sinful city wins me over
Review of Sin City DVD by DavidBedford

Advantages: Great visuals, fantastic performances, very engrossing
Disadvantages: May be too violent for some

Sin City is just that. A city of sin. Most of the police are corrupt and those that aren't have a low life expectancy. Mercenaries come here, knowing there's bound to be someone who'll give them a job. Politicians run the mob. The clergy commit outrageous acts and get away with it. A portion of the town is run with an iron first by the prostitutes, each of whom is an expert with one or more weapons. Truly good people are thin on the ground. It's ...
...well worth checking out. Sin City the film is based on a number of graphic novels by Frank Miller, one of the comic book world's deities, ranking probably a little lower than Jack Kirby and Alan Moore. The comic books, graphic novels, books (call them what you like), have a distinctive visual style as well as a bleak outlook with a blackly humorous twist. Director Robert Rodriguez worked closely with Miller (plus a little bit of help from Quentin ... Read review

Walk down the right back alley in Sin City...
Review of Sin City DVD by afy9mab

Advantages: Great cast and a technological marvel
Disadvantages: The portrayal of women, excessive violence and plotlines that occasionally drag

...the biggest, ugliest thug in Sin City goes on a rampage of revenge after the beautiful woman he's sleeping next to is murdered and he's framed for the killing. Chancer Dwight inadvertently starts a turf war by trying to protect the prostitutes that run the Old Town and good cop Hartigan is sent down the river after he takes down a corrupt senator's son who's responsible for kidnapping little Nancy Callahan. But when he gets out of prison he discovers ...
...was a time when comic book adaptations were primary coloured kid-friendly superhero tales with men in lycra slugging it out. But the times they are a changing and the adaptations have been getting increasingly dark. "Sin City" is the darkest to date and definitely one you shouldn't take your kids to see. It's a film with a heart of noir brought lovingly to life by Robert Rodriguez, Frank Miller and Quentin Tarantino. Every image is a feast for the ... Read review

Compassion Doesn't Sell
Review of Sin City DVD by ThePolarOne

Advantages: Impressive visual style
Disadvantages: Amoral and boring

...medium of film. Sin City is an adaptation of Frank Miller's comics (sorry, graphic novels) of the same name. It follows the stories of three people who live in the fictional town that seems to have degraded beyond redemption. Most interesting is that the entire film was shot against green screens, inserting CGI backgrounds into every shot. It is also shot mostly in black and white with the insertion of a couple of strong colours, in keeping with ...
...Rodriguez has not simply adapted Sin City from the original comics, but nearly cut and pasted them over, and made almost no changes to the script. The effect was a bold visual impression, which remained as two dimensional as the paper it was printed on. Part of this misguided relocation of style is the narration from each central character, which smothers most of the film. It may be trying to capture the inner workings of the protagonists mind as ... Read review

Sin City DVD

Main specs

Actor(s): Jessica Alba, Benicio Del Toro, Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Elijah Wood

Director(s): Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino

Genre: Action & Adventure

Classification: 18 years and over

Production Year: 2005

Colour: Black & White / Colour

Running Time: 1 hour 59 minutes

Video Category: Feature Film

Plot: 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 night time and everything is drenched in rain and violence. Using a unique combination of silvery black and white digital photography with occasional flashes of bright colour 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 love struck Marv, a trench coat-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.
