Moments of greatness do occur, and the audience is rapt throughout, just with less unbridled enthusiasm than when we last visited Miller's world nine years ago.

Haters Gonna Hate, But I Loved Being Back in Sin City

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2021

There's nothing to wow here.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 31, 2021

...it can feel a little uneven with multiple narrators stretching the story and vying for our attention but it's a tribute to Frank Miller's graphic novel that the film he co-directs with Robert Rodriguez is a twisted orgy of monochrome mayhem...

| May 26, 2021

A slickly styled exercise in pointlessness.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 1, 2021

The violence, nudity, and grim noir grittiness have staled considerably since 2005's refreshingly bleak adaptation of Frank Miller's hardboiled graphic novels.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 4, 2020

Some of the supporting newcomers, I'm thinking of Dennis Haysbert and Jeremy Piven in particular, are welcome additions.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 23, 2020

Sin City is a dark, seedy, bloodily violent world that may not be the best place for everyone, but it's fun for those who belong there. You know who you are.

The film retains the stunning visual style of its predecessor with some eye-catching shots, but its vision detracts substance from the driving elements of Frank Miller's world. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 26, 2020

If a script like this one is placed before these interpreters, one begins to understand the reason for the tedium that invades the entire movie, from start to finish. [Full Review in Spanish]

Like the original, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is episodic. But the 2005 installment's brutal short stories added up to a satisfying whole, while the sequel is an incoherent mess.

| Jan 8, 2020

[A]ction-packed explosion of raw and visceral lust, corruption, vengeance and violence that dazzles, delights, intrigues, and celebrates the noir thrillers of the 30's, 40's and 50's on screen and on the pulp page.

| Dec 14, 2019

Much as she does in the 300 sequel that premiered earlier this year, Eva Green demonstrates what a powerful asset she can be in otherwise subpar material.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 4, 2019

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is part entertaining cartoon noir, part violently fetishized relationship revenge fantasy. The first part is recommendable; the second part is vile.

| Original Score: C | Aug 6, 2019

The actors clearly know how to fit into this graphic noir world, and are a great reason to see this quasi-sequel.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 2, 2019

Despite the opportunities granted by previous installments, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For regrettably features less of the same - both in style and substance.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 25, 2019

Lacks the same sizzle as the original, making it a flat sequel that is all style and little substance.

| Original Score: D+ | Feb 1, 2019

It often feels like the table scraps of the first film, which basically used up all the best material and that doesn't leave much for this follow-up to work with.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 1, 2018

Unfortunately the narrative changes, sluggish pacing and mind-blowing lack of established time keep the film from achieving the lofty goals the original [Sin City] attained.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 23, 2018

This latest onscreen venture is imperfect, but it still put a goofy grin on this grumpy critic's face.
