    Slow moving

    AKA City of Sin. Another one of those Dollar Tree buys that most likely be viewed on slow evening. Of course, it doesn't help that you know the outcome from the very beginning, and that makes sitting through the film a chore.

    AKA City of Sin

    Silly, funny, dark humor film. Many twists and turns. Outrageous events. Probably underrated.

    Is danny devito broke?

    This was a god awful endless snooze.

    It starts out with Danny talking bout his life as shower door salesman,and how one good looking women came on to him once. Fron there it's just a bumpy downhill ride,with endless monologues and dialogues that never really manged to lift the movie,nor keep you awake.

    It tries to be this really clever film noir,but you are neither entertained by nor interested in any of the characters nor their faith. You just want it to end.

    I have never given Malin ackerman all that much thought as anything else than eye candy,so far she hasn't disappointed me yet.Her and Carla Gugino mostly work as eye candy and some lame sort of femme fatale, to draw people to the movie by name association .

    In short stay away from this

    Trash

    The Plot.

    A hardened detective lays low in a darkened downtown Los Angeles hotel room, biding his time as he patiently awaits a gang of vengeful hit men that are on his tail.

    Throughout the course of this one fateful night the detective becomes entangled in a web of girls, guns, and money, as he enlists the help of the many intriguing hotel guests that he encounters in an effort to evade the grave fate that lies in store.

    Wow. Written like a bad stage play.

    Directed like a HS effort.

    And acted like they can't get out of a paper bag.

    It's horrible.

    For the first 35 minutes i thought this was a parody/ comedy. It's not.

    It's just a disaster.

    Well told story

    Couldn't disagree more with the other reviewer.

    While this might not be the greatest Film Noir flick ever made or have very strong character development it was pretty entertaining with a well told story and great cast. While story develops slowly it never felt boring or artificial.

    Reminded me a bit of 2013 Mob City so if you saw it and liked it, you will probably enjoy City of Sin.

    Not sure what else I can say without spoilers. I would however recommend watching it if you like film noirs outside of Frank Miller cinematizations.

    • Trivia
      Actress Carla Gugino is the girlfriend of director Sebastian Gutierrez and appears in many of his projects.
    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits list the cast in alphabetical order, with Malin Akerman coming first. Her legal name is actually Malin Åkerman. The letter Å is the final letter of the Swedish alphabet so she could just as well have been listed last.

      Re-released in 2016, in color, as the movie City of Sin.
