To have a city, you gotta have a little Sin!

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2013)

I am going to review this movie by segment:
The Customer is Always Right (Part I) :
The Businessman walks out onto the balcony of what appears to be a hotel, where a party is being held. He then meets The Customer, as they talk, he offers her a cigarette, as they continue to talk, she says that she's tired of running, they kiss, and as they do, he shoots her in the back. Revealing to be an assassin, he says he will cash her check in the morning. We then pull back and see the title card,
FRANK MILLER'S
SIN CITY
I rather enjoyed this, I honestly couldn't tell you why, but I rather enjoyed it.
The Yellow Bastard (Part I) :
John Haritgan, a hard boiled cop, is about to retire from the force due to his newly discovered heart condition, but the night he is about to, he decides to close one more case before he gives up the badge. He is after Junior, son of Senator Roark, who has bribed police to cover up his crimes, he has recently kidnapped Nancy Callahan, with intent on raping and possibly murdering her. He tracks him down to a warehouse, where he meets his partner Bob, who insists they wait for backup, but, he disregards him and goes in. He arrives right in the nick of time, but Junior puts up chase, and he shoots him in the crotch, but, Bob shoots Haritgan down to his feet.
This was a dark, yet exciting segment.
The Hard Goodbye:
After a one night stand, Marv awakens to see Goldie, the only girl who has shown interest in him, dead. He then goes on a rampage, finally interrogating a corrupt priest (portrayed by Frank Miller himself). He then tracks down the Roark farm, where he finds most of the woman dead. He finds Kevin, the always smiling cannibalistic killer. After an unsuccessful fight, he drives back into town to get some supplies. He then runs into Wendy, Goldie's twin sister. He takes her with him to Kevin's farm, where he successfully manages to trap, and kill him. He then visits Roark, and after showing him Kevin's head, and soon kills the Cardinal.
This one was interesting, as I am an avid vengeance fan, I will say I enjoyed it.
The Big Fat Kill
This one I absolutely hated! I am only giving the log-line. Dwight, the boyfriend of Shellie, agrees for some God knows what reason, to help hide the remains of a cop that was killed in the Red-light-district of Sin City, Old Town.
This was the weakest one of all, I absolutely hated it as I never came across a proper motive for Dwight.
The Yellow Bastard (Part II)
After 8 years in the state prison after being framed, Haritgan makes his way out, believing that Nancy is in trouble. He tracks her down to a bar, where she has become an exotic dancer. As he begins to walk off, she follows him out, and they are pursued by a yellow man, who is later revealed to be Junior. He later explains after receiving penal surgery following Hartigan shooting him the groin, an infection spread throughout his body, turning him into a yellow freak. He takes her off to the Roark farm, where he attempts to rape her again, but as along as she doesn't scream, he won't receive an erection. Hartigan tracks him down and kills him again, finally killing him for sure. He then commits suicide after the shocking revelation that Roark will never stop hunting them.
The Customer is Always Right (Part II)
Becky, the sole survivor of the alley shooting in The Big Fat Kill, leaves the hospital with an injured arm. There she meets The Businessman, he offers her a cigarette, and the film closes, leaving her fate unknown.
Like the first part, this was very interesting.
THE WHOLE PICTURE
The movie was a fantastic film, all except for The Big Fat Kill, which I honestly hated. I give it 8 tickets out of 10!
