Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

It has been 9 years since we last got to roam the streets of Sin City and to be honest, I was afraid to go back.

 Sin City: A Dame to Kill for, or Sin City 2 for the non interested is a sequel and prequel, giving the viewer little chance to figure out which is which before the blood starts flying. I was reluctant to watch this film as I recently had to watch the first and analyse it for it’s ontological realism, with the first being the first film to be entirely shot on green screen this film did not exactly offer up anything as technically ‘brilliant’ as the before. With the likes of The Spirit hammering home the style and then the Noir style, splash of colour being used in low budget indie flicks trying to capture the ‘magic’ of Sin City, I was indeed very bored of the style after the first 30 minutes. Luckily the story was so jumpy, that I never had the time to grow tired of the corny dialogue. 

Having been 9 years since the original Sin City, some actors were either not asked/ interested to return or dead so recasting led to even more uncertainty as to who was who. Josh Brolin’s character playing a pre face job Clive Owen led to some dodgy prosthetics towards the end and a younger actress playing an older Brittany Murphy made for a confusing watch. I think the film will rely heavily on Eva Greens tits and the blood and guts to sell this flick as the story is dull and weak. I would not watch it again But as I always say, Go watch it and enjoy it. Remember I don't like The Dark Knight.
