For those interested this is an excellent example of the Noir style and themes: Dialogue, misogynistic settings, characters, Sin hits the nail on the head with all of them. However, as a movie it leaves some things to be desired. The plotting was bit off in its structure, and felt too choppy. Micky Rouke really shines on the screen though, and fans of his should flock to it with his best performance in years. Highly watchable for the effects, film making, and grittiness.
