Review of The Spirit (1987) by Abel D — 19 Sep 2013
Mismarketed as the next 'Sin City', Miller's take on the iconic comic has more in common with Looney Tunes than gritty crime drama, satirizing a lot of the cliches and oddities of comic books and their films versions.
A game cast playing up their archetypes, with Jackson being his all time loudest and over the top, gorgeous visuals that create a stylized noir look and David Newman's intense, bombastic score, that feels like the great Batman score Elfman never wrote, meld together for a slice of indulgent fun.
