He fights them off, and tells Marcie to meet him at a hotel, and he is escorted into Roark's limousine. Even though I did enjoy the movie for the most part some things still did bother me, much like the first movie. Chris McCoy. 'A Dame to Kill For' is a prequel that is set before the original story 'The Big Fat Kill' in the first movie. Many of the same characters from the original film return to cause havoc and mayhem in Basin City. I love the trashy seediness, the period setting and some of the characters, although the excellent main score from the first movie is missed greatly. The audience who watched Sin City (including me) are introduced to some new characters. [85] The new TV series would feature new characters and timelines and be more like the comics rather than the films. I think the problems with this movie stem from the fact its been so long since the first movie. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller, the script is written by Miller and is primarily based on the second book in the Sin City series by Miller.[7]. It tries to be sexy but in my opinion comes across as terribly vanilla half the time with laughable, apparently sexy outfits for the ladies and some rather limp strip club dancing to boot (what's sexy about a girl in cowboy attire?).

I don't know if it was the long length of time it took to get this film made or the need to present it in 3-D (ugh) or poor film making in general, but Sin City 2 is a stinker. Miller, who was writing the screenplay in 2006, had anticipated for production to begin later in the year. The film noir style that the picture employs also tones down any excitement; in the end the film feels very monotone in nature. [17], On January 7, 2013, it was confirmed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was cast as new character Johnny, described as "a cocky gambler who disguises a darker mission to destroy his most foul enemy at his best game". Marv regains consciousness on a highway overlooking The Projects, surrounded by several dead young men and a crashed police car, with no memory of how he got there. Most of the original cast returns and are joined by Eva Green, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin, and Dennis Haysbert. Easily picks up top marks for artistic style and sticking to its adult orientated guns (always a plus these days). Dwight confronts Damien Lord, who denies Ava's accusations, and an enraged Dwight beats him to death. [42] In May 2014, the Motion Picture Association of America banned a poster of the film featuring Eva Green due to nudity visible through a sheer gown. Its cold, its kinky and its dark, all agreeable ingredients which in my humble opinion gave us a reasonably solid followup.

He questions the leader about being called "Bernini Boy", and learns that it is the brand of coat he is wearing. The movie is a jumbled mix of both sequel and prequel storylines which hark back before the original movie whilst tying up loose ends. Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For takes a mediocre stroll around the hood. Instead, Johnny takes Marcie out for a night on the town. [35] In September 2011, it was revealed that William Monahan had been brought in to add the finishing touches to Miller's screenplay. Meloni was cast as Mort, Bob's new partner and one of the few honest cops of Basin City. Chapter telling isn't a problem; however, the story-lines are poorly intertwined with each other, leaving a feeling of 3 separate arcs to follow. Newcomers to the series include Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eva Green, Dennis Haysbert, Ray Liotta, Christopher Lloyd, Jamie Chung, Jeremy Piven, Christopher Meloni, Stacy Keach, Lady Gaga, Alexa Vega, Julia Garner, and Juno Temple.

[26][52] The same day, it was announced that Julia Garner was cast as Marcie, a young stripper who crosses paths with new character Johnny. Naturally this sequel gives you exactly what you crave with slightly bigger doses. He also mentioned that the cast would be "of the same caliber and eclecticism" as that of the previous film. Some of the supporting newcomers, I'm thinking of Dennis Haysbert and Jeremy Piven in particular, are welcome additions. This movie didn't quite have the same sense of grandness or scale that the first movie had, the cast isn't quite as impressive either, but I don't think it was ever gonna beat the first one. Sin City: A Dame To Kill For (we'll call it Sin City 2 from here on out) is quite frankly a mess, which is strange since this film has been in development from the moment the first film hit theaters. Inside Ava's estate, however, Manute sees past the new face, and captures Dwight. Determined to rescue Ava, Dwight recruits Marv to help him, and they mount an assault on Lord's compound. Eventually sick of suffering in silence she asks (tricks) Marv into helping her kill Roark, her thirst for revenge must be quenched.
