Reservoir Dogs

Compulsively watchable, ridiculously entertaining, with razor sharp writing and unforgettable characters. A great start for the master.

4/4

Clue

It starts out as flat as a board game but picks up momentum as the script and performances get wackier.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill for

There's nothing like watching something so beautiful where it's apparent that the lights are on but nobody's home. Sin City 2 is just as beautiful as the original and it has a similar structure of interlacing stories, but that's about all it has in common with the original.  

It's not all uninspired luckily. As mentioned before, it looks as great as ever the cinematography is just as dreamy as before. The new additions are warmly welcomed also. Joseph Gordon-Levitt fits the genre like a glove and Eva Green could make a reading of the phone book seem sexy and intriguing.

But sadly,  both actors are underused and their stories end up feeling uninvolving and unsatisfying. The bulk of the movie focuses on Jessica Alba's quest for revenge, but sadly her character and her performance feel too tame for such a wild setting. This dame is far from being worth killing for.

1/4
