Sin City: Mickey Rourke
built 395 days ago
The movie is based on three of the "Sin City" stories, each more or less self-contained. That's wise, because at this velocity, a two-hour, one-story narrative would begin to pant before it got to the finish line. One story involves Bruce Willis as a battered old cop at war with a pedophile (Nick Stahl). One has Mickey Rourke waking up next to a dead hooker (Jaime King). One has a good guy (Clive Owen) and a wacko cop (Benicio Del Toro) disturbing the delicate balance of power negotiated between the police and the leader of the city's hookers (Rosario Dawson), who, despite her profession, moonlights as Owen's lover. Underneath everything is a deeper layer of corruption, involving a senator (Powers Boothe) whose son is not only the pedophile but ... the Yellow Bastard.

Many will like Sin City; some won't. It's as beautiful as it is gruesome and as mean-spirited as it is affectionate. The stylistic approach it takes towards its subject matter seems a bit gimmicky at first and takes some getting used to. It will call for the viewer to suspend many of the properties of reality to the point of near ridiculousness, but as the movie progresses, its innovative storytelling skills and its stunning visuals will be enough to win over even the most skeptical of viewers. So, just sit back, prepare yourself for a gorgeously gory thrill-ride into 21st century film-noir and have fun looking for Mickey Rourke.
