Review of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014) by Stuart K — 05 Feb 2015
Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For takes a mediocre stroll around the hood.
For an hour and 40 minutes, the story delivers itself in chapters. 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. The film noir style that the picture employs also tones down any excitement; in the end the film feels very monotone in nature.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For goes black and white with a spot of color for its presentation. It gets tiresome fairly quickly, hampering the film visually. It is what it is, but the violence never feels cringe-worthy and the nudity never looks as extravagant as it should.
The cast is nicely chosen. Despite a bland performance, Mickey Rourke finds himself with a likeable character. Eva Green always finds ways to stand out. She truly is a dame to kill for. Powers Booth is a nice watch.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For passes by at a steady pace, yet when the end credits start to roll, it's hard to feel like anything happened.
