Sin City: A Dame To Kill For
This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
Frank Miller and Richard Rodriguez are back at the helm after 9 years in the sequel to their noir film "Sin City". If you liked the first, you won't be disappointed. Composed of three loosely connected vignettes, the film is beautifully shot in high contrasting black and white with splashes of striking color. It is ultra-violent with cartoon-y white blood splatters. The dames are gorgeous, sexy, and deadly; provocatively dressed and undressed. The men are macho, tough as nails, and take a beating as well as give a beating. The dialog is cheesy and straight out of a cheap dime store detective novel. Some old characters return, some new characters have been added, and some new faces have replaced a few of the past characters. Powers Boothe is as evil as they come. Bruce Willis does his "Sixth Sense" thing. Jessica Alba grinds it out until she can reek her revenge. Mickey Rouke is a goon straight out of "Dick Tracy". Hey, didn't he die in the original? But no one cares because the mostly naked Eva Green vamps it up as a seductive black widow.
Alien gives it 3 "corruption in Basin City" stars out of 4.
