Caught Robert Rodriguez's "Frank Miller's Sin City" this weekend, and liked it. It's a pretty direct translation of the comic -- to the extent that if you've read the comics, there's no particularly compelling reason to see the film. It's incredibly faithful. Mickey Rourke gives the best performance as Marv, a crazy/ugly sociopath with a heart of gold. Brittany Murphy is just awful, and doesn't do the occasionally cliched dialogue any favors. Bruce Willis phones in a Bruce Willis performance, and Frodo proves to be quite the creepy ass-kicker, even without his precioussss.
Oh, and it's sorta violent.
Four stars.
