Synopsis

In a city where corruption runs every corner, the only heroes left are the ones willing to get their hands dirty. Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's "Sin City," adapted from Miller's hard-boiled graphic novels, brings the comics to the screen almost panel for panel. Shot almost entirely against digital backgrounds, it's filmed in stark black-and-white with bold splashes of color - a blood-red dress, a pair of green eyes, a sickly yellow villain. The film weaves together several tales set in the rain-soaked, crime-ridden streets of Basin City. Marv (Mickey Rourke), a hulking brute with a code of his own, hunts down the killers of the only woman who ever showed him kindness. Dwight (Clive Owen) tangles with a crooked cop (Benicio Del Toro) in a turf war involving the deadly women of Old Town, led by Gail (Rosario Dawson) and the lethal Miho (Devon Aoki). And aging detective Hartigan (Bruce Willis) risks everything to protect Nancy (Jessica Alba), the girl he once saved from a monstrous killer. Elijah Wood, Brittany Murphy, Nick Stahl, Powers Boothe and Rutger Hauer round out the stylish ensemble, and Quentin Tarantino directed one sequence as a "special guest director." Rodriguez famously quit the Directors Guild so Miller could share directing credit. Violent, pulpy and visually stunning, it's a comic book brought to life like never before.
