For all the fantastic performances on display (along with mostly female flesh), the most essential ingredient Sin City possesses is its willingness to go all in.

Rodriguez and Miller bring the latter's pulpy source material to stunning life, with pops of colour to complement the stark black and white cinematography. The Noir-inspired content means plenty of gender stereotypes, but Willis and Rourke shine.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 25, 2025

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 2, 2023

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 2, 2023

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

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jul 29, 2022

Episode 10: Getting Medicated

| Original Score: 100/100 | Aug 28, 2021

The movie is not just the essence of the books writ large, but the books brought to life.

Sin City ... is a witless entrant in the "porno-sadism" category.

| Feb 15, 2021

The absorbing visuals; metaphor-ridden, cynical dialogue; and thrilling action more than win out.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 9, 2020

Violated my value system, but perhaps even more bothersome it made sure I enjoyed the experience.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 23, 2020

Sin City melds the graphic novel and the live-action film in a way that honors the strengths of both...

| Feb 28, 2020

Like a shot of pure adrenaline straight to the heart.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 5, 2019

Here Miller's starting from scratch and, sadly, he's got nothing to say.

| Jan 30, 2018

With every bloody, stylishly seductive moment, it crashes through comic book movie conventions to blast through the screen as a mesmerizing and captivating crowd-pleaser.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Jan 13, 2015

Now that I've seen the late-arriving sequel, I can't for the life of me work out why I ever thought it would be a good idea.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 16, 2014

So hyper-dramatic that even the most horrifying elements play as a sort of quiet camp rather than bland torture porn.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 27, 2014

The cast is excellent and the computer-generated visuals are consistently stunning. Too bad the narration sounds like a string of clichés from creaky old detective novels.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 14, 2013

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.

Full Review | Apr 14, 2013

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

| Apr 14, 2013

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.
