SIn City thingy

I don't claim to be an expert of the crime-film genre, but i know a good crime flick when i see one and Sin City, to me, is the epitome of the genre. It's meant for more of a sci-fi/action audience, but it has so much noir style, that it's hard NOT to call this film a crime drama. based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller of "300" fame, Sin City takes place in a metropolis full of corruption and evil, as the name describes. There are many different plots which seldom connect with each other, so it plays out like a variety of short stories. 
Aside from the thematic elements, the film has an all-star cast that includes Bruce Willis, and Elijah Wood to name a few. 
The fact that the movie is in black and white makes it have more noir. Along with the character narration, this whole film screams crime movie.
