Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

In this second installment of the Frank Miller graphic novel movie adaptation and after 10 years, Miller and Rodriguez return and do an admirable job.  It doesn't have the groundbreaking freshness of the first one, but for those of us who appreciate exaggerated film noir, revisiting the one that started it all is a treat. Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson, and Bruce Willis are all back.  But the series is also injected with new fusion from Joseph Gordon-Levitt , Dennis Haysbert, Josh Brolin, and especially the dynamite starring performance of Eva Green as Ava.  Where it suffers from, is probably some wasted performances and misuses of cast, including Bruce Willis who really didn't need to be in this installment and was badly distracting; or Gordon-Levitt with an amazingly wasted performance to the storyline.
