Sin City: A Dame To Kill For - 4/10
i enjoyed the original more than most. This, which i didnt watch on release because it lookef like a shameless cash grab, turned out to be a shameless cash grab. The acting is all good save Alba...whose as good as she's able to be...
This is shot with higher quality cameras then the first which exposes the lack of real sets/locations in every frame and betrays the art style that made the first film a delight.
The new characters are good. Much better than the attempt to raise the dead to bring back characters from the first film thar were all well passed finished.
Pacing is bad. Framing is bad/lazy/amateurish. I think Miller likely was more hands on on this than the first. Rodrigues is better than this on a technical level.
