I have just come back from watching this travesty of a movie. Me and my girlfriend went expecting an entertaining ride in the vain of sin city......boy was I wrong. First things first I have never read a comic in my life and honestly, I've never heard of the Spirit but seeing as id never read a sin city comic and loved every second i thought id give it a chance. This film is so devoid of any heart or soul ts unreal. You get the feeling no one cares about what they are doing and sam jackson is the least scary villain ever committed to film. The violence was like cartoon slapstick I.E. a metal bar bending into the shape of sam jacksons head or throwing a sink and then trapping The Spirit in an old toilet. The Dialogue is so cheesy its laughable. Maybe it was supposed to be like this and if it was, the comics must be as dire as this. I cant really go on any further as I walked out halfway through to go out and do something worthwhile. This film really is the "showgirls" of comic book movies. It is so bad that "Barb Wire" deserves an Oscar in comparison. Please save your money and go see something else. Or rent it if you really, really need to see it, but I did warn you.

Day of Wrath
(2006)
A good Lambert Movie
16 April 2006
What can I say about Christopher Lambert?? He Starred in good films like Highlander films (OK not the second one) mean guns, Fortress Mortal Kombat and my guilty pleasure Beowulf. But there has been others like Point Men which was undoubtedly the worst film ever. Just look at the Christopher Lambert list of films in a word RUBBISH. But Day of wrath is different. It has a good Story, best part being all the twists and turns like disappearing bodies and conspiracies. Good acting OK violence is set in 16th century and Brian Blessed is in it!!!!!. Its very entertaining and is worthy of watching. Big Chris Lambert is (hopefully) back on track and I cant wait for MK Devastation.
