It ice-skates uphill with style.

Rating: 7/10 (13 February 2018)

Pioneering the new-wave, near turn-of-the-21st-century superhero genre long before the films that usually get credit for it and also aiming for a much more mature audience, this kick-ass comic-book adaptation is an enjoyable ride throughout with an effortlessly cool central performance and an awesome knack for action. Its nineties stylings only occasionally come close to cheesy and its relatively generic plot isn't quite so much 'seen it before' as 'I can tell where it's going to go', but the hyper-energetic action set-pieces and confidently laid-back spirit are infectious in a surprising way. 7/10
