Review of Daredevil (2003) by Jacob B — 08 Jul 2016
Stylistically great, but the Netflix TV series is definitely the superior entity to this, and direct comparisons between them make it easy to understand why. While the movie's principal actors put in individually good performances, the text ties things together in a haphazard fashion that serves to alienate rather than sympathise with the characters.
Murdock seems well off despite not being able to win cases against a corrupt system, and his plight doesn't seem as desperate as it could be. Garner is wasted in the role as she's dispensed with before she can be effective.
Farrell plays Bullseye's insanity well but it seems out of balance with the rest of the text. All in all, fairly messy.
