Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

Robert Rodriguez returns to the high-contrast world of Frank Miller with Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, a sequel that reunites several hard-boiled detectives and criminals in Basin City. Released in August 2014, this neo-noir thriller blends action, crime, and dark humor while maintaining the franchise's signature black-and-white aesthetic punctuated by splashes of color. The film features a stacked cast including Bruce Willis as the retired cop Hartigan, Josh Brolin as the weary detective Dwight, Mickey Rourke returning as the monstrous Marv, and Eva Green playing the mysterious Ava Lord. Jessica Alba also reprises her role as Nancy Callahan, anchoring the story with her own brand of grit.[edit]
