Frank Miller’s 2005 neonoir thriller was an aesthetic left-hook – Sin City took the gloss and grit of comic book stylisation to film for the first time and did it with aplomb. We’re finally seeing a Sin City sequel – in the same year as the follow-up to 300, another adaption of Miller’s blood-drenched material. Co-directed by Planet Terror’s Robert Rodriguez, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For returns to the multi-story format, blood spillage and all-star cast of the first instalment, and features Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and, believe it or not, Lady Gaga. It’s in cinemas from September 18, and if you’d be keen for a double pass, get in touch at win@xpressmag.com.au.
