not bad but not great either

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2007)

Less than perfect, but lively and watchable story of a young man who follows in the footsteps of his father by becoming a daring and courageous stunt motorcyclist, despite the deteriorating affect it has on the relationship with his one true love. He sells his soul to The Devil in order to forward his own personal ends, but it's not until years later that he realizes the extent of the deal which grants him unearthly powers that he uses to try and stop the maniacal demon Blackheart. The latest addition to the rapidly growing comic book genre has plenty of exciting effects sequences, as well as some first-class stunt work, along with a corny script; an excess of cheesy humor and familiar plotting weakens the story, but it entertains on a no-brainer level if you enjoy that sort of thing. **
