Denny Colt, a cop shot to death, then wakes up from the dead not knowing why he lived or how he lived. He then takes his power to proctect central city, his lady. this is what the first twenty minutes of The Spirit is like. this very character driven film which stars Gabrielle Macht as the Spirit, Samuel L. Jackson as the Octopus, Jaime King as Lorlelei, Eva Mendes as Sand Seref and Scarlet Johannsen as a very convincing Silken Floss. the acting is on top and not one character is off by least. this film is very fun and funny. despite what the crittics say these days they seem to be off on almost every movie. The Spirit like it's predecessor sin city is not only entertaining but is very dark and centralized on every character in every way possible. there is a brief cameo from Peter Dinklage(a man standing outside of a building) and Paz Vega who plays a very strange gypsey by the name of the plaster of paris. The spirit which also has a narration by our lead actor is very good although it may seem a bit wierd that he talks to himself ,but it doesn't hardly interfere with the narration like fight club or sin city yet again it fits very well into the ongoing story between the several characters throughout the film. Fans of 24 will appreciate the role of Louis Lombardi a clone who is seen thoughout the whole movie as the octopus's henchmen. frank miller proves to us once again he can make one hell of a movie do not miss this.
