I can't believe I haven't reviewed this before. This isn't even my copy; it's the recut, extended, unrated version from Netflix. I'm pretty sure it was a bonus disc on the blu-ray, which I will be upgrading to posthaste.Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, Sin City tells the interconnected stories of Marv (Mickey Rourke), an ex-con dealing out vengeance after his lover, Goldie (Jamie King) is killed; Hartigan (Bruce Willis), a hardboiled cop who went to prison in order to protect a young girl's (Jessica Alba) identity from a serial rapist (Nick Stahl); and Dwight (Clive Owen), who is just trying to get rid of his new girlfriend's (Brittany Murphy) abusive ex-boyfriend (Benicio del Toro) before he starts a war in Old Town.
This film was AMAZING on blu-ray. It looked brand-new. The recut version presented the vignettes in chronological order, which did disrupt the flow quite a bit, but also allowed a lot more extended footage. They ended up being separate little mini-movies instead of one complete film. There were a lot of special features as well, including behind-the-scenes looks at the makeup, the costumes, and (my favorite) even a little cooking session with Robert Rodriguez. It's totally worth buying this movie again if you only have it on DVD.
