Rodriguez, along with Miller, translated these legendary stories from page to screen by remaining absolutely faithful to the look, feel and dialogue of the books.

"Sin City" stars Bruce Willis as Hartigan, a cop with a bum ticker and a vow to protect stripper Nancy (Jessica Alba); Mickey Rourke as Marv, the outcast misanthrope on a mission to avenge the death of his one true love, Goldie (Jaime King), and Clive Owen as Dwight, the clandestine love of Shelley (Brittany Murphy), who spends his nights defending Gail (Rosario Dawson) and her Old Towne girls (Devon Aoki and Alexis Bledel) from Jackie Boy (Benicio Del Toro), a dirty cop with a penchant for violence.

Please tell me what you think?

Me: first good movie in a long time.

The way the movie is described, I didn't think it sounded all that interesting, but after watching the trailer, it looks really interesting and different. I'd go see it.

Jessica Alba in a strippers role? How could you go wrong with that?

It kind of looks like a combination between Kill Bill and Dick Tracy.

Looks pretty good.

This is a fata from a couple weeks ago, but any Miller stuff is worthy of multiple threads in my opinion. If you guys get a chance, pick up some of the Sin City comic books, they are truly amazing. Earlier work by Miller that is really worthwhile is Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Its brilliant.
