A fun noir-film with ultraviolence.

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2007)

Many friends of mine just thought that they were watching some meaningless movie with some psychotic characters so they stopped watching it in the first (and gorier) story. But this movie isn't just about ultraviolence, thugs and whores with submachine guns (what could attract many guys to watch Sin City), it's about principles and three very well written stories, every protagonist have an ideal and try to achieve it, even if achieving it may cost their lives; It's not difficult to find out because with the noir traces (narrative for example) you can easily understand what's on their minds and how they feel.
The acting is above average as a result of a terrific cast for the roles, Mickey Rourke (as Marv) has a wonderful acting here, he fitted perfectly the character and made Marv the most empathetic and original character from Sin City. I had the opportunity to read the comics and it's clearly that this is the most authentic comic adaptation ever. This genuine mark is due Frank Miller's wish.
Sin City is for people that support (or even enjoy) some violence and gore but does not interfere in the overall sense, a very well done and entertaining movie!
