Shadow, The (1994)


Mildly entertaining adventure with excellent art direction. The atmosphere and visuals are quite good, employing lots of fog, dramatic lighting, and numerous matte paintings to give the film the feel of a 1930s pulp comic. Unfortunately, the characters are developed to barely functioning levels, the acting is pretty terrible, and the plot is idiotic. Contains CG moments that may be as bad as the Reptile effects from Mortal Kombat (1995). The film could have been a lot better than it actually was, but if you like watching Alec Baldwin give menacing looks, this is a must see!

6/10
