Sin City

Sin City (124 min)
Seen on the 1 May 2008

More pointless violence from Robert Rodriguez et al. This time the action takes place in an unnamed city where violence is tolerated within certain limits. A number of actors perform a series of heroes and villains balancing the power in the sin city. This city has a circular argument and ends where it started suggesting a never ending criminal life in this particular city.

At the centre of the action is an unnamed good guy who realizes about a series of brutal acts (including cannibalism) which implicates high ranking personalities in sin city. By witnessing the murdering of a prostitute he embarks in a personal revenge to try to punish the killers. In his journey he finds a well organized prostitute circle controlling to a degree the criminal life in sin city. Pointless but entertaining violence.
