Review: A solid evenings entertainment

The general consensus from previous reviewers, appeared to be that The Beast Within was the weakest of The Dead Man series and could be skipped over. So I expected the worst.However, The Beast Within was fine - nothing wrong with it at all. Sure, it branches off and tries something new. Mr. Dark isn't really in the story - but his presence is well and truly felt. And the story opens up a whole new world of possibilities for The Dead Man series. It implies Matt Cahill's journey to discover the secret of his power, and his running battle with Mr.Dark, is just the tip of a dark magical underworld that spans the globe.On top of that, you get the usual mayhem - this time, evil white supremacists, rampaging bears, dangling from a chairlift, exploding trucks, flaming crossbows - of course a damsel in distress - and Cahill's usual axe wielding form of justice. No complaints from me - a solid evenings entertainment.
