sin city: a dame to kill for
Some of Sin City's most hard-boiled citizens cross paths with a few of its more reviled inhabitants.
Nine years after the groundbreaking 2005 original. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is an entertaining hard-boiled neo-noir prequel-sequel. Featuring two new stories, Nancy's Last Dance and The Long Bad Night, written by Frank Miller. The performances in A Dame to Kill For are excellent. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Johnny, a slick, smooth-talking gambler in trouble with the corrupt Senator Roark, who owns Basin City, after winning a poker game. Mickey Rourke returns as the bada** brute, Marv. Along with Jessica Alba as stripper Nancy Callahan, seeking revenge after the death of Detective John Hartigan, the only man she ever loved. Josh Brolin is Dwight McCarthy, previously played by Clive Owen in the first Sin City. Eva Green is great as the femme fatale Ava, Dwight's seductive ex-lover. Robert Rodriguez & Frank Miller's visual style is stunning. Packed with exciting ultraviolent action. The stories in Sin City 2 aren't as interesting as That Yellow Bastard, The Hard Goodbye and The Big Fat Kill. And even though A Dame to Kill For lacks the impact of the first film, there's still plenty to enjoy here.
