Sin City

CrimeThriller124 min

In Sin City, a web of interlocking crime stories follows crooked cops, desperate vigilantes, hired killers, and broken hearts chasing revenge, justice, or some uneasy mix of both. Mickey Rourke and Clive Owen are among the hard-lived figures drifting through the city’s alleys and back rooms, with Jessica Alba and Bruce Willis turning up in parallel strands of corruption and redemption. Adapted from Frank Miller’s comics, the film leans into a hard-boiled, neo-noir world of shadowy streets, sudden violence, and characters trying to do the right thing in a place that rarely gives them a clean way to do it.
