Marv (Mickey Rourke) is unconscious on a highway surrounded by corpses. When he awakes, he has amnesia and tries to recall his last steps from the Kadie's saloon on the Saturday night. He recalls that he found four playboys burning a homeless man alive and defended the poor man. Marv hunts them down and kills the group.
The cocky gambler Johnny (Joseph Gordon Levitt) hits jackpot in slot machines in the Kadie's saloon and invites the waitress Marcie (Julia Garner) to go with him to play poker game against the powerful Senator Roark (Powers Boothe). He wins the game and suffers the consequence of his arrogance.
The private detective Dwight McCarthy (Josh Brolin) is contacted by his former lover Ava Lord (Eva Green) that asks to meet him at the Kadie's saloon. Ava asks him for forgiveness for leaving him to marry the wealthy Damian Lord (Marton Csokas). However her strong chauffeur Manute (Dennis Haysbert) takes her home. Dwight snoops around Ava's house but is found and beaten by Manute and the bodyguards. When he returns home, Ava is waiting for him naked in the bed and seduces him again. Then she tells that Damian and Manute torture her and soon she will be killed. Once again Manute takes Ava with him and hits Dwight that invites Marv to help him to rescue Ava. Damian denies the accusation but Dwight beats him to death while Marv tear Manute's eye out. But soon Dwight finds that he was lured by Ava that shoots him. Marv rescues Dwight and takes him to the Old Town where Dwight finds his former lover Gail (Rosario Dawson) that helps him to recover while Dwight plots revenge against the manipulative Ava.
The neo-noir "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" by Frank Miller is the sequel of the 2005 movie. Again the movie is so violent that becomes caricatural. There are basically three subplots entwined at the Kadie's saloon. The first with Marv is pointless and ultra-violent. The second one with the cocky gambler holds the attention but disappoints in the end. The third is the best one with a private detective under the spell of a wicked femme fatale that is unable to resist to her charm. Like in the first movie, the black and white cinematography is stylish. My vote is seven.
