BY: Jamie Russell May 19th 2009 FILED UNDER: DVD
The Spirit is spiritless, a retro-chic revamp of Will Eisner’s ’40s noir crimefighting strip that has oodles of digi-backdrop style but a black hole where its soul should be.
Baddie Sam Jackson overacts, while goodie Gabriel Macht underwhelms. It has been shown some love on DVD – featurettes, Frank Miller commentary, alternative ending.
But like its luscious leading ladies – Scarlett, Eva, Jaime, Paz – it remains all dressed up with nowhere to go.
