The darkest & most violent comic book movie ever conceived, starring the late Brandon Lee.

The movie starts with the city of Detroit in flames set by arsonists controlled by crime lord Top Dollar. Showing a young couple murdered by the four arsonists with no leads for the police to find as with every crime committed.

One year later, the main character Eric Draven, is brought back from the dead by a crow to seek revenge for the murder of his fiancée & himself, & to bring justice for all the victims of the crime lord.

The movie though present, focuses mainly in the past, for is is the main pinnacle of the plot as did the comic book itself. For it helps the audience to understand the character & why he was brought back to do what he must do.

But no movie is without fault. For there is about 10, maybe 14 movie goofs within the film. But that doesn’t stop the film from being great.

Unfortunately, the greatness of the film came with a price. Leading actor Brandon Lee was shot by a faulty prop gun during the shoot of the movie & was rushed to a local hospital. 13 hours later, Brandon Lee passed away on 03/31/1993. He was 28.

The movie is stylized in dark tones to be somewhat faithful to the source material & is widely recognized for the look of the movie, the tragic compelling love story, & Brandon Lee’s impeccable performance.

The film was dedicated to the memory of Brandon Lee & his fiancée Eliza.

A satisfying action-packed gothic romantic film for the dark-minded.
