9. Yes, TOJ, Jessica Does Sizzle
although her role is actually a little different. And her story more than a little sad.

6. That's Actually a Very Good Description
Constant voice-overs are usually a sign of weakness in a film. In Sin City, the voice-overs are a seamless part of the narrative. You can see and feel the graphic novel in every frame of film. And every scene just explodes.

It could have been done so poorly, and instead it turned out so well. Absolutely unbelievable. Just be prepared for the violence.

7. Not to mention....
seeing actors acting in roles that you'd NEVER expect.

Elijah Woods was SPECTACULAR.

8. Oh My God, That WAS Elihah Woods!
Very unFrodo-like. Very creepy.

And I sat through the whole thing without recognizing Mickey Rourke.
