Marv would destroy the Wrestler

Sin City peaks early with Mickey Rourke playing Marv, who drags thugs face first through the pavement while driving, and with the visual stylings that capture the nature of comics on film. Rourke is so good, the character of Marv so fun, that the rest of the cast just can't rise above it. In the midst of dirty cops, prostitutes on roof-tops firing automatic machine guns, and a conspiracy on every street corner comes a vision of what Vegas is now. Gone is the glamor of the big lights and big win that comes with pretty boys in suits. Hell, they wouldn't last two minutes here. Overall there isn't much after the first story, but it's one hell of a grungy piece to look at.
