There is a rule that is generally accepted by all movie fans; while a sequel might eclipse its original in box office receipts, merchandise sales, and social media presence, it is only on rare occasions when it can match its predecessor in terms in quality. That rule is especially true when it comes to originals that are marked by an innovation or creative flare that revolutionizes, or defies, its genre. Unfortunately, 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' is not one of those rare occasions. Titular grammatical error aside, this listless sequel provides none of the awe-inspiring spectacle of its far superior original.

The film also includes outstanding additional cast including Corey Stoll ('House of Cards,' 'The Bourne Legacy'), Bobby Cannavale (Broadway's 'Big Knife', 'Danny Collins,' 'Annie,' 'HBO's 'The Long Play'),
