Sin City Reviews |
Sin City is always moving on to the next thing, and despite surprisingly good work from its large cast (especially Rourke and Owen, who are both outstanding), the picture feels synthetic and artificial -- a postmodern take on film noir tricked out with all kinds of bells and whistles, but lacking a soul to call its own. [read review] 
“Sin City” is violent, surprisingly humorous, sexy, innovative, provocative, visually stunning, relentlessly entertaining, and a movie that delivers something even the most jaded of moviegoers haven’t seen before. Gorgeous and gory, a graphic film noir taken to the nth level, “Sin City” is not just for devotees of Frank Miller. I’ve never read “Sin City” and it didn’t affect my viewing pleasure one iota.

The excessive, and arguably numbing, length of this adolescent stunt suggests that perhaps Rodriguez, who works in a sort of splendid Austin isolation, is suffering from a kind of cabin fever and would benefit from a bit of old-fashioned studio oversight. The real masters of noir certainly did. [read review] C+
Comic book noir. I love it! If you love your comic books violent, dirty, gritty, filled with badass characters either looking to kick ass or getting their asses kicked (or both), and your movies hyper-stylized, cool, rapid-fire and chockfull of over-the-top characterizations from every horny adolescent’s wildest and most masochistic imagination, you’ve come to the right place…i.e. SIN CITY is for you! [read review] 9/10

Just sit back, friend, and take it all in. In Sin City, the show never really starts, and never really ends. The show’s just always there, but you got here just in time for the really good parts. Just keep your eyes open and your head down, and try not to get caught in the spray of bullets and blood. [read review] 
--Brian McKay (eFilmCritic.com)
Ah, but what art. Although I can't quite declare my love for this movie yet, my admiration for it ranks as high as can be. Formality is the order of the day, and, if that works well enough for you, take a couple of hours to observe comic book translationat its best. [read review] 9/10
Sin City is plenty bloody and downright disgusting. From faces being put through brick walls to meditated dismemberment, I can’t count the number of times I shouted “holy shit!” and/or grinned with sadistic pleasure. Only the strong survive Sin City, andthose who don’t, well, God help them. This film is not for the kiddies. [read review]

This is one of those movies where audiences sit through all of the end credits–not because they are hoping for a final bonus cookie, but because they are too overwhelmed from the entire experience to be able to even move for a few minutes afterwards. [read review]
--Peter Sobczynski (eFilmCritic.com)
FROM the opening sequence, it's clear that "Sin City" - which co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller have not so much adapted as lovingly copied from Miller's acclaimed graphic novels - is unlike anything you've ever seen before. [read review] 
--Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
Everything about it is so reprehensible -- mindless gun worship, nonstop violence, graphic bloodshed, sado-misogyny, caricatures not characters, every verbal cliche in the (comic) book. I'm ashamed of myself for enjoying it like hell. [read review]
--Ron Weiskind (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
Sin City, an exquisitely made, unbearably faddish movie that will strike joy into the hearts of all who revere amputation and apocalypse, opens with a swoony love scene culminating in a murder for the heck of it. [read review]
Visually, SIN CITY is as striking, as innovative, and as just plain beautiful as anything that ever came through a projector...Be prepared to shut your eyes through some of it, but the rest of it is a wild ride. [read review] 
--Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
Surprise! Sin City is a mega-violent, highly potent vial of noir crack. And judging from the riotous burst of applause at the end of our screening, one that's destined to be a Matrix-style mass-cult classic. [read review]
--Eric Meyerson (FilmCritic.com)
This film has style but no grace. The acting is brilliant, but repulsive. It’s like a car wreck. We can’t take our eyes off it. You won’t either. But be warned. [read review] 
It's a badass black & white fingerbang that will blow you across theater seats; its only intention to bruise your worthless body...Or something like that... [read review]
--B. Alan Orange (MovieWeb)
What makes Sin City great is you have unique characters filmed in a such a way NEVER seen before, that it makes the film (for all its flaws) a must see. [read review]
"Sin City'' made me ask if my life would have been complete without seeing Bruce Willis rip a guy's genitals off. (Yes.) [read review] 
This is as much a movie as it is a snuff film – there is no enjoyment on any level besides on the surface. [read review] D+
--Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)
Yet it's such an implausible fantasy that there's no sense of suspense or peril, and it's far too long. [read review] 8/10
It's a visualization of the pulp noir imagination, uncompromising and extreme. Yes, and brilliant. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Sin City is the most visually inventive comic book adaptation to make its way to a movie screen [read review]

If this isn't one of the best films of the year, it is going to be a great year. [read review] A
