3.5/4 stars
A clever concept with top notch writing and actors who know how to translate excellent dialogue to the screen. The camera style and use of music are right on as well. If there's anything to be desired, it's a moral center. You would not want to know these people.

The Bourne Identity
3/4 stars
Possibly my least favorite of the three. A bit clumsy compared to the latter two. Example: why does Castel come through Bourne's window on a wire to attack? That's a little over the top and flashy. Some points back for conveying the premise, a task the other two movies obviously aren't required to do; as well as for Clive Owen's cool, understated performance.

Sin City
2.5/4 stars
Propelled by a distinctive style and an entertaining storyline, these unfortunately do not overcome uneven performances (some are inspired, but there are a few times in the film when you wonder why a competent director would keep the take you just saw) and an unnecessary degree of unpleasantness.
