disdressed12 Review of The Shadow Strikes

The Shadow Strikes (1937)

entertaining first movie of the Shadow series

[5/10 · 7 December 2008]

this is the first of 6 in the series of The Shadow movies.i didn't mind it.it's entertaining,though not outstanding.Lamont Cranston AKA The Shadow finds himself in the middle of a mystery.Cranston (Rod La Rocque) is also a lawyer and an amateur criminologist,so his skills come in handy and he solves the mystery.possible minor spoiler***The Shadow only makes an appearance,twice,and since they didn't have any cinematic tricks back then,is actually just La Rocque covered in a black cape from head to toe***.but still,i wasn't bored,and the movie is entertaining,and that's what counts.for me,The Shadow Strikes is a 5/10
