Rated R
Starring Mickey Rourke, Josh Brolin, Rosario Dawson, Eva Green, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jessica Alba
Written and Directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez
The Story:
Marv (Rourke) is back along with many of the other denizens of Sin City. Using an original story interwoven with Miller's A Dame to Kill For, the two stories intertwine as new characters cross-over with some returning characters.
As it is crime noir, I don't want to mention who does what, or who gets killed...
But if you saw the first one, you know that pretty much anyone is going to be fair game for shooting someone else in this movie or getting shot before the film concludes.
Still, great direction and camera work by Rodriguez and Miller, but not quite as strong of a narrative as the original film.
It probably didn't help much that they waited almost a decade between installments of this franchise.
That said, if you liked the first one, you'll probably like this one.
Possibly just not as much.
Final Grade: C
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: It was okay, and like the original, worth a watch, but no reason to revisit for me.
