But this sequel, which starts off promisingly, soon bogs down, its relish for tawdry, hyper-violent titillation eventually becoming as monochromatic as the black-and-white images. Sin City: A Dame To Kill For sports a similarly striking look, and the actors’ hard-boiled exuberance is apparent at each turn. The belated return trip proves less rewarding. 2005’s Sin City is one of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez’s best movies because its innovative green-screen technique freed him to indulge fully in the overblown comic-book aesthetic that’s long been his giddy trademark. ![]() ![]() ![]() Bound to a man who isn't quite what he seems, Lucy finds her heartand her futureon the line.
