There are a handful of ways in which A Dame to Kill For actually improves on the first movie. Alas, none are enough to prevent it from being a substantial disappointment.
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic
Fresh
A Dame To Kill For isn't likely to create converts out of those uninterested in the pulpy side of fiction. But it more than earns its keep in terms of lavishing love, mildly ironic as well as pretty damn earnest, on pumped-up noir.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Rotten
Miller's original comic-book frames serve narrative functions, but these movies are all grabby graphics, devoid of compelling style.
Michael Sragow, Orange County Register
Rotten
You don't expect to be exhausted by reams of soul-sick narration and artful chiaroscuro compositions, but that's what happens.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out
