I definitely recommend checking it out. There is nothing else like these films in the action/film noir genre. The look of course is iconic especially upon it's original release.
I think what really makes this film so electric is the acting (#1), the writing, I just love those narrations. And the editing. It's a classic film noir just as much as anything else before it.
Really standout performances from Clive Owen ( I think it's the best thing he's done), Rosario Dawson, Britney Murphy, and Mickey Rourke. (who I also believe is at his best here). Benecio Del Toro and and Alexis Biedel are also great.
Definitely recommend checking it out. But be warned: It's a dark, sick, gruesome, twisted world this sin city. So be prepared. And I do recommend watching the sequel if you love this film.
