In this quartet of neo-noir tales, a mysterious salesman (Josh Hartnett) narrates a tragic story of co-dependency, while a musclebound vigilante (Mickey Rourke) tears his way through the criminal underworld in search of his lost love (Jaime King). In another part of the city, a grizzled cop (Bruce Willis) foils the ambitions of a child-killer (Nick Stahl), and an ex-prostitute (Brittany Murphy) evades her ex-pimp (Benicio del Toro) with the help of her new boyfriend, Dwight (Clive Owen).

Critics Consensus

Visually groundbreaking and terrifically violent, Sin City brings the dark world of Frank Miller's graphic novel to vivid life.

David Germain

Associated Press

With a huge, well-chosen cast and the blessing of Miller, who was on set as Rodriguez's co-director, Sin City is a gloriously stylized world unlike anything you've seen before on screen.

TIME Magazine

For all its astronomical body count, Sin City is brazenly, thrillingly alive.

Joe Morgenstern

Wall Street Journal

While Sin City on screen evokes the same feeling of bottomless decadence and dread that the novels do, there is one crucial difference -- you can put the novels down.

It's a beautiful looking film but it didn't give me enough to want to ever watch this again. The story was all over the place and kind of boring.

Rated: 2/5

Back when this was initially released, I would have rated this higher but the storylines and dialogue don't hold up well enough for repeat viewing. Visually it is stunning though.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Rodriguez was never so energetic or creative behind the camera, and he hasn't come close to achieving something so inspired since.

Rated: 4/4

Some parts like the green screens and cgi aged, but it looks and feels still stunning, dirty and gritty.

Enormously entertaining. Stay away from the sequel, though.

Ignore the ratings, this is a timeless piece of drama and action. I won't tell you anything else but watch this in its original form, NOT the extended.

First 10 minutes talk talk, nothing happens. Sped it up, nothing happens. Skipped to next film.
