Another notable piece of music used was the instrumental version of the song "Cells" by the London-based alternative group The Servant. The song was heavily featured in the film's publicity, including the promotional trailers and television spots, and being featured on the film's DVD menus.
by Walter Chaw Until Frank Miller's Sin City (hereafter Sin City), maverick Mexican director Robert Rodriguez frustrated the hell out of me: here's this guy with all the talent in the world--an eye, an ear, an internal metronome as unerring as a clock tick--making incoherent movies literally without finished screenplays. Falling off high wires without nets and trying to look cool doing it--it ain't smooth, man, it's arrogance and it's misplaced. I thought he'd spent himself on flotsam like the last two Spy Kids flicks, thought he'd really screwed the pooch on a fiasco like Once Upon a Time In Mexico, on which he mistook Sergio Leone's formalist genre Diaspora for a mess of ideas trailing camera flourishes. But here, right before he unleashes some 3-D thing about a shark boy, Rodriguez slides in a movie for which he resigned from the Directors' Guild of America just so he could credit comic book legend Frank Miller as his co-director. Here, in Sin City, is what Robert Rodriguez can do with brutal, draconian structure (what's harsher than the cell of a comic-book panel?); here, finally, is productive fruit from his reputation as a rebel without a crew. Here's Sin City down low, on the QT, and very, hush hush: the most anti-Hollywood Hollywood picture since Kill Bill, and a film that, likewise, feels like some kind of miracle it was ever produced, much less released.

Based on several metrics inspired by the seven deadly sins, WalletHub revealed that the infamous Nevada city occupies first place, followed by St. Louis, Missouri, as some of the most misbehaved places in America in 2022.
In 2012, Dimension Films revealed Sin City: A Dame To Kill For would be in 3D. This was ahead of the beginning of production. However, It's unclear on whether Rodriguez would be shooting with 3D cameras, as he did with Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, or if the 3D would be post-converted. Personally, I hold no bias either way as I've seen great and bad movies in both columns. But I'm docking a point because--having seen the results--Rodriguez should have made more of an effort to change up his shot choices if he wanted to make full use of 3D's merits.
On the other end of the spectrum is Beyond The Window, which is the part of 3D that seems to stretch the world of the movie deep beyond the screen. Most often, this element sings when used in rich landscapes like forests or towering cities. As mentioned above, the high contrast style of the Sin City comics rebels against this tool. But to his credit, Rodriguez worked in some wide shots of the city to get some punch out of this part of 3D. But the best use of Beyond The Window comes in a scene where a seedy photographer is snapping blackmail shots of a shady tryst through the skylight of a hotel. There the depth is felt, and crucial to the plot.
Mikkelsen turns his truly extraordinary physique into a precision mega-weapon in this film, and given the fact that he was 53 at the time of filming Polar and is soon to be a grandfather, fans seeing this film may find the bar for measuring the male physique during middle-age sharply raised. But note that Hr. Mikkelsen(R) is Danish, and in general, Europeans tends to stay fit much later in their life in comparison to their American counterparts. We can only suggest moving to Europe or watching more Mads Mikkelsen movies.
There are some movies where it is difficult to offer excessive praise or condemnation - one expects to see them gain average marks from IMDb critics. Then there are those which polarise opinions: viewers love the movie or hate it. Sin City is one of those: it is very difficult to feel indifferent to it, and it's as well to know that going in.If you're going to hate it, this will be because of the very high level of violence, brutality, and perceived misogyny. Well, if you're someone who fights shy of that sort of thing then I suggest steering clear of Sin City. It is violent and brutal.But the violence is stylised - as is everything in the film - simply because it has been sourced directly from the pages of Frank Miller's comics. You can read the comics along with the movie and hear every word you read, and see every frame converted to movement. As someone who loves the comics, I thought initially that this would be a good thing. And it is, but it's also a bad thing because the film holds no surprises - none, count 'em, zero - for anyone who is familiar with the books.For all that it is a striking, and largely successful, exercise in converting narrative from one medium to another.The cast is uniformly excellent.
"Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" and its 2005 predecessor combine more than three different genre's worth of elements and displays them to extremely heightened levels beyond the internal norms of each designation. On most people's comic book/graphic novel movie shelves, they have a collection of clean-cut superheroes, not the brutal, pulpy, booze-soaked, and scantily-clad array of characters from "Sin City." They make even something as dark as "The Crow" look like a little bird bath in a city park. The general definition of the film noir genre starts at a hard-boiled Humphrey Bogart type, some shadows, and the purveying smoke of cigarettes. Miller and Rodriguez lather those noir stylings as thick as Meryl Streep lays down accents and then coat it again with strikingly brutal violence. That explicit violence of the "Sin City" movies creeps into horror territory checking another genre box that gets busted. 2ff7e9595c
