The creator of Sin City and 300, Frank Miller, brings us another neo-noir in the form of The Spirit.
Gabriel Macht stars as the Spirit, a former police man who meets his end on the streets of Central City and is then reborn as a hero to defend them from evil.
The Octopus (Samuel. L. Jackson) reins terror over Central City, trying to find his way to immortality and it's up to the Spirit to catch him.
It's not all toil and trouble for the Spirit though; he finds himself the object of many a woman's affections along the way and he certainly doesn't shy away from the attention.
The Spirit is a brilliant film. It is a clever mix of humour, action, adventure and romance with a whole load of great aesthetics.
The look of the film is very similar to that of Sin City but, the story is very different, meaning that The Spirit doesn't have to hide in the shadows of the Sin City success.
Frank Miller, graphic novel, comic book and general action fans with all surely love The Spirit.
