![]() She is reminiscent of every black widow woman from every film noir ever made: Lana Turner wrapping John Garfield around her little finger in "The Postman Always Rings Twice" or Barbara Stanwyck playing Fred MacMurray like a violin in " Double Indemnity." One kiss with Ava Lord and, forget it, you're willing to do anything. Nancy is not doing well, drinking too much, crying in her dingy apartment, hacking her hair off, her every thought starting to swirl toward payback.Īnd finally, Eva Green enters the scene as Ava Lord, the "dame to kill for" in the title. "Nancy's Last Dance" involves Alba's character haunted by the apparition of Hartigan ( Bruce Willis), staring at her from the back of the bar, a protector still. The senator will kill you if you cross him. Johnny is a whiz at cards, dealing them out to the table with lightning-quick speed, astonishing everyone present. ![]() Joseph Gordon-Levitt appears in another vignette as Johnny, a reckless card shark, determined to infiltrate a high-stakes poker game run by a villainous senator ( Powers Boothe, gloriously horrifying) with a shady past and a taste for cruelty. It's "same ol' same ol'" for poor lonely Marv. He breaks up an atrocity about to be perpetrated in an alley by a bunch of preppy jerks. He stops off at the nudie bar to watch Nancy (Jessica Alba) dance, his anvil-shaped head glowering out at the world. "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" starts with a snowy Saturday night in Marv's brutal, haunted, and angry life (Mickey Rourke). Thank goodness it's so pretty to look at, and it is fun to count the references to classic films. At some points the film lags, loses focus, especially in the segues between vignettes where you can hear the gears creak. The vignette-structure returns, with a couple of additions written by Miller expressly for the film. The cast, some re-creating their roles from the first film ( Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Jamie King), and some new characters (played by Ray Liotta, Lady GaGa, Christopher Meloni, Christopher Lloyd, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and more), are all great, exhaling the hopelessness and desperation of living in a city overtaken by sin. Robert Rodriguez approaches the material with the same enthusiastic vision that pulses off the screen, each image tweaked for maximum drama. That is not really the case now as "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" is more of the same, basically, only now in 3-D, which adds some cool effects but it's not really necessary. Some of the vignettes held together better than others, but overall, it was hugely entertaining, an exercise in style that pushed the envelope as hard as it could. The voiceovers, weary and dispirited, came from the James M. Mainly black-and-white, with red lips or green eyes shining out of the monochrome, the film looked like a noir on acid, or a grisly crime photo by Weegee, overexposed until black and white are reversed. "Sin City" was all gleaming car grilles and seedy bars and tortured men lurching their way through the grim streets, casting gigantic shadows. The style was lifted right out of Frank Miller's books almost shot for shot in some cases the books used as a storyboard.
