Overview

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. Wikipedia ↗

About the Film

Sin City is a 2005 American neo-noir crime anthology film directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, with a "guest director" credit for Quentin Tarantino for one sequence. The film adapts three of Miller's graphic novel stories set in Basin City, a corrupt, rain-drenched urban hellscape where violence is the primary language and moral absolutes have been replaced by degrees of depravity. Bruce Willis stars as a aging cop protecting a young girl from a pedophile senator's son; Mickey Rourke plays Marv, a brutish but loyal man avenging a murdered prostitute; and Clive Owen leads a conflict between prostitutes who control Old Town and corrupt police officers.

Sin City's visual approach was revolutionary — shot almost entirely on green screen with digital backgrounds, the film recreated Miller's stark black-and-white artwork with selective splashes of color (a pair of red shoes, yellow skin, blue eyes) that gave the film the look of a living comic book. Mickey Rourke's Marv, wearing heavy prosthetic makeup that transformed his face into a battered, block-jawed monolith, was a comeback performance that reminded audiences of his talent after years of career decline. The film earned $158 million worldwide on a $40 million budget.
