You will never be able to find more police corruption, gang terror, and sleaze than in a lousy town like Sin City, as four stories are interweaved involving a lot of bad people and even more bad places. In "That Yellow Bastard," a creepy pedophile whose kill was thwarted by ex-cop Hartigan (Willis) returns "The Customer Is Always Right," to finish the job eight years later, using Hartigan to try and bait the girl—skinny little Nancy (Alba), a 19-year-old stripper, who is quite possibly the nicest person in Sin City. Then in "The Hard Goodbye," there's gladiator-like Marv (Rourke)—the roughest, toughest lug in town—framed for a murder and out to avenge the death of Goldie (King), the only dame who was ever kind to him. His search will take him to the foulest location in the city—a place known as The Farm—where a silent killer (Wood) with a creepy fetish deserves to die in a hard way. Finally, in "The Big Fat Kill" a corrupt cop by the name of Jackie Boy (Del Toro) has a run-in with Dwight (Owen) and the streetwise ladies of Old Town Sin City, led by Gail (Dawson). Based on the Sin City graphic novels by Frank Miller. (Suzanne Hodges)
