Bad people doing good things.

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2006)

Sin City, great movie. This is one of the few movies I feel deserves a 10.
Frank Miller created these amazingly flawed characters. Marv, a violent alcoholic who is obsessed with finding the murderer of his mistress. Dwight, a criminal on the run who wants to protect the women he loves. And Hartigan, the one good cop among many corrupt ones. The characters are ones people can relate to.
There are three separate but intertwined stories. Starts off with Hartigan 8 years before. Hartigan just wants to stop a serial rapist. Next is the story of Marv. A semi-crazy man trying to avenge the unjust death of his mistress. After that is the story of Dwight. Dwight basically just wants to protect the women he loves. First the bar maid, then Gail. The movie ends with Hartigan getting out of jail to save Nancy.
I remember when I first said "I want to see that movie", a couple of people looked at me and asked why. They couldn't understand that the movie was not so much about corruption, sex, money, fame, whatever as it is about doing the right thing.
