Summary:
Sin City: Welcome to Sin City, the town that beckons to the tough, the corrupt, and the brokenhearted. A universe of unlikely and reluctant heroes still try to do the right thing in a city that refuses to care. See Frank Miller's graphic novels come to life. Contains both the theatrical release and the unrated extended cut version. No country for old men: When a man stumbles on a bloody crime scene, a pickup truck loaded with heroin, and two million dollars in irresistible cash, his decision to take the money sets off an unstoppable chain reaction of violence. Gangs of New York: In 1846, waves of Irish immigrants poured into the New York neighborhood of Five Points. "Billy the Butcher" bands his fellow "Native Americans" into a gang to take on the Irish gang "The Dead Rabbits," organized by Priest Vallon. After a bloody clash Vallon is dead and his son ends up in a brutal reform school. In 1862, that boy returns to seek vengeance against the man that killed his father. The grifters: When a small time cheat, Roy Dillon, winds up in the hospital following an unsuccessful scam, it sets up a confrontation between his estranged mother Lilly and sexy girlfriend Myra. Both Lilly and Myra are ruthless confidence artists playing the con game in a league far above Roy and always looking for their next victim! The question soon becomes who's conning who as Roy finds himself caught in a complicated web of passion and mistrust! Catch me if you can: Based on the autobiography of a brilliant young master of deception and the FBI agent hot on his trail. Frank W. Abagnale, Jr. passed himself off as a pilot, a lawyer, and a doctor all before his 21st birthday.
