Film Freak 2014 - Sin City: A Dame to Kill For


OMG, tits and ass galore, that's what I thought for the majority of the new Sin City film staring the dreamy Joseph Gordon Levitt. Thank god for him as there was only lady candy in this film and god damn Lady Gaga getting to star opposite the dream boat.

So the new Sin City film, it's been getting average reviews, titled a sexist blood bath and a lot of other things. Yes the girls are always wearing something on the sexy side, yes it violent but man it's fun. The violence is in such a comic book fashion, it's hardly offensive and sometimes it's even just moving shadows.

The world Sin City creates is creepy as fuck but still not far from what Kings Cross or other seedy parts of Sydney are like. If you remove the traffic from Parramatta Road it's just brothels and run down shit businesses for as far as the eye can see.

Not really a great film for the School Holidays but hey us adults (and I use that term loosely about myself) need a good piece of escapism too.



Ok so a film with a great cast and Eva Green almost always naked is going to at least pass in my book. It's no perfect, it most certainly is not everyone's cup of tea but I enjoyed it for a bit of a cheap and cheerful Tuesday entertainment.

It's not gonna win any awards nor will it kill it at the box office against the likes of Maze Runner & Frozen returning to the cinema in time for the holidays, but it's a solid effort, rating 2.75 blood drenched well rehearsed death scenes by a sharp ass sword of doom.
