Eva Green livens up the so-so Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For
THE Sin City sequel looks great but without anyone to root for this series of scumbags and freaks begins to drag
Robert Rodriquez and Frank Miller have assembled a top cast for the sequel
SIN CITY 2: A DAME TO KILL FOR
Director: Robert Rodriquez
Stars: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin, Eva Green, Mickey Rourke
Cert: 18, 102 mins
Three cheers for Eva Green for once again livening up a so-so sequel. As she did in 300: Rise Of An Empire, the game actress plays a scheming temptress with a fondness for a nudity in Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For.
Or as her character puts it: “I’m a selfish slut who threw away the only man she ever loved.” Ah, bless.
Co-directors Robert Rodriquez and Frank Miller (who created the comic book on which it’s based) have assembled a top cast for the sequel to the enjoyable 2005 original, including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Brolin and Ray Liotta, alongside returning cast members Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis.
However, there’s no one to root for amongst the scumbags and freaks of Basin City and the episodic narrative drags. It looks great through.
VERDICT: 2/5
Sin City- A Dame To Kill For Official Trailer #1 (2014) HD
DELIVER US FROM EVIL
Director: Scott Derrickson
Stars: Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez
Cert 15, 118mins
Deliver From Evil is a humdrum horror film starring Eric Bana as a New York cop, Ralph Sarchie, who pairs up reluctantly with a cool dude priest (Edgar Ramirez) to help crack a series of domestic abuse cases which may have something to do with demonic possession. Directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister), the uninvolving story is drawn out and lacks suspense and proper scares.
VERDICT: 2/5
