SIN CITY (2005)

Cast

Plot

Marv is a lunkhead of incredible strength, an aggressive power he puts to merciless use when his one true love is murdered. Hartigan is the embittered, but moralistic cop who's sworn to protect a stripper and Dwight is the lover of Shellie and the inadvertent dark angel of Gail's Old Town girls, a feisty group of hookers. These are just a selection of the random characters in Rodriguez's adaptation of Frank Miller's Sin City graphic novels and it's difficult to decide which of the two is the biggest style junkie. A master of the super slick visuals Rodriguez has surpassed himself, "Sin City" really does look incredible, but the story is disjointed and often wooden, lacking as it does any real characterisation or heart. A feast for the eyes but a Slim Fast shake for the soul.
