Critics Consensus

A Dame to Kill For boasts the same stylish violence and striking visual palette as the original Sin City, but lacks its predecessor's brutal impact.

David Sims AV Club 09/22/2016
To call Sin City noir is to misunderstand the genre, as perhaps Miller does. Each story ends pretty simply-in brutal fighting and murder-and lacks genuine intrigue or ambiguity. Go to Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire 06/18/2016
The duration between the first film and its sequel doesn't fully explain the new film's flaws, it's quite instructive when examining the reactions to them. Go to Full Review David Stratton The Australian 09/22/2014
3/5
There's a bleak beauty to all of this, but also there's a reliance on stereotypes, male and female, that, while they come directly from the source material, are starting to become irritating. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Jul 28
2/5
The inspired comic recreation looks outstanding once again and the purposeful contrast levels are spot on to enhance the necessary atmosphere. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 07/29/2022

Moments of greatness do occur, and the audience is rapt throughout, just with less unbridled enthusiasm than when we last visited Miller's world nine years ago. Go to Full Review Therese Lacson Nerdophiles 10/09/2021

Robson C @RT82519826 Jan 2 Uma nova antologia inspirada nos quadrinhos de Frank Miller acompanha Johnny desafiando o senador Roark no pôquer, Dwight reencontrando Ava, um amor do passado, e Nancy buscando vingança pela morte do policial John Hartigan. A continuação mantém o estilo do primeiro filme, com sexo, drogas e violência estilizada, mas as tramas não têm a mesma força — especialmente a última, centrada na vingança de Nancy, prejudicada pela limitação de Jessica Alba nesse tipo de papel. O restante do elenco se destaca: Marv é possivelmente o segundo melhor trabalho de Mickey Rourke, e Eva Green, Rosario Dawson, Powers Boothe, Josh Brolin e Joseph Gordon-Levitt também brilham. Como sempre se disse, Miller cria HQs cinematográficas, algo comprovado por Sin City e 300. O visual inspirado nos quadrinhos continua sendo o maior trunfo do filme See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Nov 19 I know this one gets a lot of hate, but I liked it because it was just one more movie that I could see done in the same way as the first one. And that was rewarding enough. See more tommy J @RT55566390 Nov 1 Yea, kinda hard to keep my attention. See more Yilium A @RT47361215 Sep 30 It respected the univers, the style of the first one: loved that. Pieces of different stories joining up was nice idea. My only regret: we don't have a part 3.
