Sin City

Directed by Frank Miller & Robert Rodriguez

Adapted from Frank Miller’s graphic novels, SIN CITY is Robert Rodriguez’s striking film noir infused with fantasy, taking place in a world where it is eternally night time and everything is drenched in rain and violence. Three stories weave together, occasionally overlapping.  These tales are about crime, love, loss, and being preternaturally tough. Mickey Rourke plays the fearlessly love struck Marv, a trench coat-clad beast who falls in love with prostitute Goldie (Jaime King) only to find her murdered by a demonic cannibal (Elijah Wood). In another segment, Bruce Willis plays Hartigan, a rogue cop whose goal in life is to protect Nancy (Jessica Alba), an innocent stripper, from a murderous rapist (Nick Stahl). The third segment stars Clive Owen as a as Dwight, the clandestine love of Shellie (Brittany Murphy), who spends his night defending Gail (Rasario Dawson) and her Old Town girls from Jackie (Benicio Del Toro), a tough guy with a penchant for violence.
