Rich, dark superhero story (without the spandex!) 7/10

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2000)

This offering from the director of 'The Sixth Sense' provides a dark, moody depiction of the spectrum of good vs evil. The film's hard, filth ridden view of modern life sets an excellent scene from which the not so likely hero of good may be illuminated. The films cast is squarely suited to the cold, slow screenplay. Bruce Willis excels in the leading role which contains suprisingly little anger or comedy, the usual trademarks of Willis. Not a film for those wanting action packed suspense but a valuable study of the nature of heroics none the less. 7/10
