  by Debjyoti Guha (India)
Sin City is an inimitable movie; some group will like it while some will simply hate it.This movie is based on Frank Miller's Graphical Novel of the similar name.The movie covers three stories knotted together to give the feeling of completeness. There are three major stories 'The Hard Goodbye','The Big Fat Kill' & [...]

The Hard Goodbye : This part focuses on the retribution of man for the untimely murder of his one night lover.

The Big Fat Kill : Portrays the war between a group of Prostitutes trying to hold their city from Corrupt Police, Mercenaries and the Mob.

The Yellow : Focuses on the old Police Officer who tries to protect a young woman from being raped and murdered by a psychopathic sadistic killer from an influential political family.

Sin City provides a huge cast starring Jessica Alba, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis, Michael Clarke Duncan, Rosario Dawson, Elijah Wood and many more. What makes this movie so unique is that it is made in High quality Black and White with some colorization on certain portion of the scene giving it a polished look. This new approach has really made this movie very special; though the movie consists of enough blood and gore, the presentation has made it some what lighter.

This movie carries with itself a likable story, if you like movies based on graphical novel, then you can give it a shot.

You can't but admire Robert Rodriguez for achieving his vision of bringing Frankie Miller's graphic novel Sin City, to the big screen. The result of his dedication and vision, is a stylistic, visually striking, technically impressive, near perfect homage, to Miller's world of crime, violence, romance, revenge, women, and vice. Miller had no plans for a Sin City film, but when Rodriguez demonstrated to him what the film could be, Miller got onboard the project as a co-director. Using the graphic novels as the source, Rodriguez clearly envisioned technically how the film could be made, and transformed that concept into a reality that even exceeded the expectations of Frankie Miller, authentically capturing the look, style and atmosphere of Sin City.

Another major contributor to the film's success is its amazing cast. From top to bottom, Rodriguez enlisted a parade of top flight talent that is quite unique. Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Clive Owen, Benicio Del Torro, Jaime King, Carla Gugino, Devon Aoki, Rosario Dawson, and Elijah Wood, head what is one of the more remarkable casts in a film of this decade, one that also includes Powers Boothe, Rutger Hauer, Josh Harnett and Marlee Shelton in minor roles.

Presented predominantly in black and white, the original version of Sin City cleverly blends several stories together in a fashion that holds together pretty cohesively, although the tonality of The Big Fat Kill incorporates a bit more humor than the rest. The performances are all strong, particularly considering the challenges of acting against a sterile green screen. Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke, both rise to the top with gritty, powerful, and emotional performances.

There are a ton of extras in this edition, including several commentaries, and numerous featurettes covering various facets of the production. Lots of cool secrets are revealed in 'Fifteen Minute Film School with Robert Rodriguez'. Shooting against a green screen, enabled scenic elements to be inserted in post production. The extent to which this cool technique was employed, can be seen in 'The All Green Screen Version'. There is also a short documentary about how Frankie Miller was convinced to greenlight and join the production.

The film has been recut, with some additional footage added, into the four separate stories, The Customer is Always Right, That Yellow Bastard, The Hard Goodbye, and The Big Fat Kill. They appear on Disc 2, and can be viewed in any order. Also included is a copy of The Hard Goodbye graphic novel. The recut, extended version (DVD or Blu Ray), costs more, but if you enjoy Sin City, this is certainly the one to get.

Amazon should revise their policy of regarding different versions of the same movie as being equivalent. This two disc recut version, not the same as the regular edition single disc release. This situation widespread, and leads to confusion for those seeking specific information about what special features and extras may be included in any particular edition. This policy not realistic, and does not serve the best interest of consumers.
