THE SHADOW (1994)

The price of redemption for villainous Cranston was to take up man’s struggle against evil forces. Everything to survive & protect was taught to him leaving visible only one thing he can’t hide- his shadow. He met his nemesis Shiwan Khan, the successor of legendary Mongolian King Changez Khan who wanted to create a powerful bomb to destroy the world.

Alec Baldwin acted as Shadow/Cranston may be just to add his name in the list of superheroes. Penelope Ann Miller looks stunning as blonde beauty. Don’t expect great visual effects like any other fantasy/superhero film here. Expect south Indian kind of action. (i.e. -in one of the scene two bullets collide & break into pieces.) It’s one more ordinary wind up in superhero genre but it’s not as ridiculous as ‘Daredevil’ which I think the worst superhero film ever made in Hollywood.
Strictly avoidable.

Ratings- 4.5/10
