Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

This isn't an adaptation of a comic book, it's like a comic book brought to life and pumped with steroids.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalleAdd Critic to Favorites

A movie unlike any other.Read the full review

Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

It's a guaranteed must-see for its generation. Sin City has a long, long shelf life ahead.Read the full review

Washington Post | Stephen HunterAdd Critic to Favorites

Slate | David EdelsteinAdd Critic to Favorites

I loved it. Or, to put it another way, I loved it, I loved it, I loved it. I loved every gorgeous sick disgusting ravishing overbaked blood-spurting artificial frame of it.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites

Tarantino may have nicked the title first, but this is the real ''Pulp Fiction," with all the drama and the dead ends that implies.Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

The most visually inventive comic book adaptation to make its way to a movie screen.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Keith PhippsAdd Critic to Favorites

Sin City draws on the cumulative history of both mediums, creating a pastiche that would have been technologically impossible even three years ago. Its creators invent a queasily intoxicating new world.Read the full review
