The Spirit

The Spirit
Down these mean streets a man must come. A hero born, murdered, and born again
That mask doesn't do much for you...

Frank Miller's first solo directing effort has not garnered the enthusiastic support that his previous film efforts did. Based on a comic series from decades ago, it tells the tale of a policemen who was killed and resurrected. Still dedicated to fighting crime, though now largely immortal, he has to take on The Octopus, a baddie with eight of everything. There are a plethora of gorgeous women involved as well, some from his past, and some new, who bring various twists to the plotline. Expect a lot of style, and dubious substance.
