Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For

"It’s a film about style and the separate stories are put together nicely."

Straight up – if you liked the first Sin City, expect the same thing, but some of the actors have changed. Which is okay because Josh Brolin is a great replacement for Clive Owen as the young Dwight.

Jessica Alba is fantastic in the film, and the continuation of her weird relationship with the dead Bruce Willis is great.



This movie has had a variety of responses in ratings and reviews but it should be seen for what it is – good old-fashion Frank Miller noir. It’s an old tale so nothing good is meant to be said. The world is a horrible place. Men are awful. Jessica Alba is fantastic in the film, and the continuation of her weird relationship with the dead Bruce Willis is great.

The title story, A Dame To Kill For, is probably referencing the most enjoyable and bizarre characters of Rosario Dawson and Eva Green who steal the show. Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Johnny is a gambler and performs one of the greatest clichéd dark power play moments.

Don’t expect it to be better, don’t expect it to be worse. It’s a film about style and the separate stories are put together nicely. The film is non-linear, with parts set after the first film and others set before. This isn’t a film for everyone but if you liked the first one don’t listen to what people say, this film is damn fun.
