Overview
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.

Center
Primary
The film leans right due to its central thesis that individual vigilante justice and personal codes of honor are the only effective responses to pervasive societal corruption, rather than advocating for systemic or institutional reform.
Sin City features a visually diverse ensemble cast that aligns with its graphic novel source material, rather than explicitly recasting traditional roles for DEI purposes. The film's narrative focuses on themes of crime, corruption, and moral ambiguity within its stylized world, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
Gail, a prominent character depicted as white in the original Sin City comic series, is portrayed by Rosario Dawson, an actress of Black and Latina descent, which constitutes a race swap.
The film portrays the Catholic Church institution as deeply corrupt and evil through characters like Cardinal Roark, who uses his religious authority to facilitate horrific crimes. Priests are depicted as complicit or easily manipulated, covering up atrocities. There is no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal of the institution.
Sin City does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's various storylines focus on heterosexual relationships, crime, and violence, with no representation of queer identity in any capacity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is a direct adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novels. All major characters, as established in the source material, retain their original genders in the 2005 movie adaptation. No instances of a character canonically established as one gender being portrayed as another were found.
