Certificate: 12A

Genre:

Adapted from the legendary comic strip, "The Spirit" is a classic action-adventure-romance told by genre-twister Frank Miller. It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the Spirit to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the Octopus has a different mission: he's going to wipe out Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality. The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront--all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women, who either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader. Surrounding him at every turn are Ellen Dolan, the whip-smart girl-next-door; Silken Floss, a punk secretary and frigid vixen; Plaster of Paris, a murderous French nightclub dancer; Lorelei, a phantom siren; and Morgenstern, a sexy young cop. Then of course, there's Sand Sarerf, the jewel thief with dangerous curves. She's the love of his life turned bad. Will he save her or will she kill him?

    never hits the mark of its genre, i.e. Sin City. I expected more from this and that's the feeling it leaves it's audience with at the end. 'D'

    The worst of all the Frank Miller adaptions without a doubt. And I like Sammy L. but he didn't really do much for me in this film.

    I know it hasn't lived up to it's reputation for the true fans but I really loved it. I loved the way it was film and its overall feel. I was enthralled for the whole movie. It was something different and I felt it worked.

    I'll give it a 2nd star as technically it is well shot and even some of the performances are good. Speaking as a big Frank Miller fan have to ask Miller to not direct anymore. Come to think of it just stop.
