Sin City
Film · 2005
Welcome to Sin City. This town beckons to the tough, the corrupt, the brokenhearted. Some call it dark… Hard-boiled. Then there are those who call it home — Crooked cops, sexy dames, desperate vigilantes. Some are seeking revenge, others lust after redemption, and then there are those hoping for a little of both. A universe of unlikely and reluctant heroes still trying to do the right thing in a city that refuses to care.
The sides of Sin City
- A city of crooks and killers
- Black and white with splashes of red
- Three stories of revenge
Sin City is good for you if…
- you like a comic book shot frame for frame.
- you like brutal heroes in a rotten city.
- you like hard-boiled voice-overs.
Sin City is bad for you if…
- stylised but extreme violence ruins it for you.
- you can't watch black and white. Almost all of it is black and white, with splashes of red and yellow.
