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.

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.

This extremely violent movie is NOT for kids.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 28, 2010

While the book succeeded in pushing the boundaries of its medium, the film merely feels like a triumph of technology.

A worthwhile piece of eye candy.

If Raymond Chandler and Daffy Duck could have produced a child, Sin City would be their baby.

For the guys it's Rodriguez's best film by far and a treat for fans of good-looking girls in black-and-white, of classic film noir and of imaginative ultra-violence.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 7, 2006

It's all so sudden and in your face you can almost feel the thunderous thw-aaaack! of a sucker punch ram full-throttle into your jaw.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 15, 2005

Its creators invent a queasily intoxicating new world.

Time was when movie-makers, even laws-unto- themselves such as Sam Peckinpah, could be trusted to examine the consequences of living every moment in mortal danger: violence meant something more to them than simple connoisseurship.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 3, 2005

The look of it remains exceptional, a high-contrast monochrome showcase of sheeting rain, shattering glass and white-on-black silhouettes, with occasional motifs picked out in vivid colour.

[A] fiercely original crime anthology that hits right between the eyes with a striking blend of old-school noir and newfangled comicbook visuals.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 24, 2005

Can bring more pain than satisfaction.

In the end, I have to say I liked Sin City almost in spite of myself.

Robert Rodriguez is one audaciously talented man.

For those who enjoy their tough-guy testosterone straight up, no chaser, it's a 120-proof sucker punch to the cinematic solar plexus.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 3, 2005

It's a hard, viciously funny little movie, one with all the subtlety of a billy club. But there's artistry here, too.

Full Review | Apr 1, 2005

The movie feels like a reductive exercise. Rodriguez might have accomplished what he set out to do, but I'm not sure he's done anyone any favors.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 1, 2005

Two hours and six minutes has never seemed so much like two and six-tenths seconds. It's pure pulp metafiction.
