Sin City must be a goddamn good film, if it has managed to impress on the undersigned, who does not watch this type of fare,  never mind enjoy it.

Furthermore, it features Mickey Rourke in a leading role, as Marv, and this name in the cast is enough by itself to cause an aversion.
However there are plenty of artists that delight with their skill and it must be admitted that Rourke is good here, without mannerisms and exaggerations that plague his acting in other films.

Jessica Alba, Alexis Bledel, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, the recently deceased and regretted Rutger Hauer, Brittany Murphy, Bruce Willis and especially Clive Owen are a supreme delight to watch.
It amost doesn't matter that the escapades, multiple fights, limbs severed, heads rolling make for a rather gory scene.

One critic said something like:

'When you walk out of the cinema, you will spill teeth out, for there is so much fighting and killing'

Fantastically entertaining, beautifully set up, extremely captivating.
It almost, but not quite, makes this cinephile watch another motion picture with characters that come out of comic books...

Like the latest Avengers, that I understand has already beaten another mediocre film - in terms of artistic value, not exorbitant box office - Avatar, in the commercial domain, otherwise, Sin City appears to be more worthy than the Cameron feature.
