Sin City (2005)
There is no justice without sin.
Welcome to Sin City. This town beckons to the tough, the corrupt, the brokenhearted. Some call it dark… Hard-boiled. Then there are those who call it home — Crooked cops, sexy dames, desperate vigilantes. Some are seeking revenge, others lust after redemption, and then there are those hoping for a little of both. A universe of unlikely and reluctant heroes still trying to do the right thing in a city that refuses to care.

What kind of watch this is
Robert Rodriguez directed this 2005 crime thriller. It runs 124 minutes, a length that feels like a long night in a dive bar. It is a hard-boiled story about revenge in a city that refuses to care. The tagline promises no justice without sin, and the film delivers exactly that. It looks like a video game that crashed, but it plays like a noir that never learned to apologize.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes reports a 76% approval rating from 257 reviews as of January 2026, alongside a 7.5 average score. Metacritic scores it 74 out of 100, labeling the reception generally favorable. Roger Ebert gave it 4 out of 4 stars, calling it a visualization of pulp noir that is uncompromising and brilliant. Not everyone was dazzled. A. O. Scott argued the film offers sensation without feeling, noting that something human is missing. The visual style is undeniable, even if the soul is optional.
How it did with audiences
It cost $40 million and returned $159 million worldwide. That is a clean profit, not a blockbuster, but it is enough to keep the lights on. In the United States, it took in $74 million. Audiences tracked it at 8.0/10 on IMDb as of February 2026. TMDB users rate it 7.5. The numbers say it worked.
