The Shadow

Long before he played the funny executive on a TV show and voiced an animated baby in a business suit, Alec Baldwin was a supernatural pulp hero known as The Shadow. Much like the bad guys unfortunate enough to cross paths with this hero, audiences seem to have forgotten The Shadow even exists.

Until today! Critics in 1994 were not fond of this adaptation and few flocked to the box office, but surely there is something worth praising in the film right? Maybe the ground breaking special effects (for the time) that are used to depict bullets colliding mid-air, possibly for the first time in a blockbuster movie. Perhaps the early CG animation used to bring Phurba to life, a flying sentient dagger that shouldn't be confused with the OTHER flying sentient blade from the 90s wielded by a certain Power Ranger.

Even though no one can tell when Alec Baldwin is trying to be serious or funny, he certainly puts all his energy into this one and so do we!
