The sequel to “Sin City” brings back characters new and old for a fresh adventure. Taken from Frank Miller’s graphic novel of the same name, visionary director Robert Rodriguez returned to helm “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” with one of the most black-and-white evil characters put to film.
“I’m just quoting Frank because I asked him,” Rodriguez said on a featurette for the film. “I said, ‘Is there something in Ava Lord’s [Eva Green] past that made her want to come this way? Was she really hurt? Is she getting revenge on just anybody who gets in her way?’ He’s like: ‘Oh, no. She’s a demon.'”

Apart from using Dwight (Josh Brolin) — and any man she can get her hands on — for her benefit, she also has her hand in the local mob scene. After she coerces Dwight into killing her husband so she can gain his fortune, Dwight becomes hip to her schemes and attempts to bring her down. This forces her to team up with mob boss Wallenquist, otherwise known as “The Kraut” (Stacy Keach). The experienced actor is virtually unrecognizable in the role of the German crime lord. Rotund and covered in scars, Keach plays one of the notably outrageous characters the film franchise offers. As someone unimpressed with Ava’s charms, he is only interested in what his greed can bring.
