| Story: |
Welcome to Sin City. This town beckons to the tough, the corrupt, the
brokenhearted. Some call it dark. Hard-boiled. Then there are those who call
it home. Crooked cops. Sexy dames. Desperate vigilantes. Some are seeking revenge. Others lust after redemption. And then there are those hoping for a little of both. A universe of unlikely and reluctant heroes still trying to do the right thing in a city that refuses to care.
Their stories - shocking, suspenseful and searing - come to the fore in a new
motion picture from co-directors Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, and special
guest director Quentin Tarantino.
With verve and invention, Miller and Rodriguez plucked the stories of Sin City
right off the comic book page. Then, using cutting-edge digital filmmaking,
they pasted these ultimate urban tales of louts, lugs, heroes and hussies to
the screen without losing any of the comic's silhouetted look and staccato
rhythms. Sin City is brought to life through light and shadow - through clipped
dialogue, stylized performances and visual invention.
Three Tales from the Dark Heart of Town The central story follows Marv, a tougher-than-nails street-fighter who has always played it his way. When Marv takes home a Goddess-like beauty named Goldie, only to have her wind up dead in his bed - he scours the city to avenge the loss of the only drop of love his heart has ever known. Then there's the tale of Dwight, a private investigator perpetually trying to leave trouble behind, even though it won't quit chasing after him. After a cop is killed in Old Town, Dwight will stop at nothing to protect his friends among the ladies of the night. Finally, there's the yarn of John Hartigan - the last honest cop in Sin City. With just one ticking hour left to his career, he's going out with a bang as he makes a final bid to save an 11 year-old girl from the sadistic son of a Senator . . . with unexpected results. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
