Sin City (2005)

Coming Out at 1 April 2005 in theaters.

“Frank Miller’s Sin City”

Crime, Thriller

Sin City is neo-noir crime anthology film written, produced, directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. It is based on Miller’s graphic novel of the same name.

Much of the film is based on the first, third, and fourth books in Miller’s original comic series. The Hard Goodbye is about an ex-convict who embarks on a rampage in search of his one-time sweetheart’s killer. The Big Fat Kill follows a private investigator who gets caught in a street war between a group of prostitutes and a group of mercenaries, the police and the mob. That Yellow Bastard focuses on an aging police officer who protects a young woman from a grotesquely disfigured serial killer. The intro and outro of the film are based on the short story “The Customer is Always Right” which is collected in Booze, Broads & Bullets, the sixth book in the comic series.

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).
