“Walk down the right back alley in Sin City, and you can find anything.” From graphic novel legend Frank Miller and director Robert Rodriguez comes three dark and jagged neo-noir stories in a universe of unlikely and reluctant heroes still trying to do the right thing in a city that refuses to care.

This isn't an adaptation of a comic book, it's like a comic book brought to life and pumped with steroids. It contains characters who occupy stories, but to describe the characters and summarize the stories would be like replacing the weather with a weather map.

The movie is not about narrative but about style. It internalizes the harsh world of the Frank Miller "Sin City" comic books and processes it through computer effects, grotesque makeup, lurid costumes and dialogue that chops at the language of noir. The actors are mined for the archetypes they contain; Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Clive Owen and the others are rotated into a hyperdimension. We get not so much their presence as their essence; the movie is not about what the characters say or what they do, but about who they are in our wildest dreams (Roger Ebert)

This is the perfect neo-noir to get February going. We are giving a copy of the First Volume to one of the members /guests on the day. So, what are you waiting for?
