From River City to 'Sin City' for a night

"Sin City" hits theaters today, but some Austin fans got a sneak peek Thursday night. The new movie from hometown filmmaker Robert Rodriguez got its regional premiere at the Paramount Theatre during a screening that benefited the Austin Film Society. Rodriguez presented the film. Co-director Frank Miller, creator of the "Sin City" comic book, was also on hand, as were Jaime King and Nick Stahl from the movie's large cast. Video | Photos

The story:

Corruption is the name of the game in Sin City. This is the story of its larger than life characters, who live and die on its colorful, sleepless streets. Among them is a tough-as-nails street fighter who goes on a rampage after a beautiful girl is killed in his presence.

Reviews:

"As a test-reel to show off Robert Rodriguez's pet technologies, or as a fetish object for comics fans, 'Sin City' is praiseworthy. As a stand-alone piece of cinema, it has a few Hail Marys to say."

THE ORLANDO SENTINEL:

"It's not great art and it's not great literature. It is just the flat-out coolest looking movie to come along in years."

ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS:

"I suppose some will search for deeper meanings in 'Sin City,' but I don't think the movie can support that. It's only interested in cool, in the same way that Dave Brubeck was and Jack Kerouac was and Kanye West is."
