Sin City

Murder, corruption and cover-ups are all part of Sin City's daily routine in this dark film that weaves three tales from Frank Miller's graphic novels. Marv (Mickey Rourke) is a psychotic outcast who seeks vengeance for Goldie's (Jaime King) murder; Dwight (Clive Owen) kills a cop and must cover it up; and nearly retired cop Hartigan (Bruce Willis) is accused of a crime he didn't commit. Benicio Del Toro, Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson costar.

My Promulgation: This is a great example of if you throw 20+ great actors into a so so movie and plot, guess what? The resulting combination is fucking so so. What insight and amazing powers of reflection I have. Jesus H. I think this is a solid two stars @ best, Maybe if I spend more time reading esoteric literature and less time doing whatever, I could have more pithy insight for this flick. I don't and I don't.....Jessica Alba was kinda hot, but pretty much obscured by a weird little film.
