1990s movies were undoubtedly the best. The special effects, action, thrills, suspense… nothing compares. I have been meaning to watch the Shadow since I was a young boy. I never got around to watching it until now. I procrastinated for so long, maybe even thirty years.

This movie sees a leisurely king in a random part of the world, living it up with prostitutes and weapons and greeed. He has done many wrongs but is giving a second chance at life by a shadowy, mysterious figure. I think that scene was reminiscent of Arrow on the CW where Oliver Queen’s dad gave him a book of corrupt people’s names and had Oliver bring them to justice.

The Shadow, Lamont Hill has the power of hypnosis and it works well except on a woman named Margo Lane whose dad is a scientists and a foe known as Gingas Khan hypnotised him so he could build a bomb. Throughput it all there ws action and intruguigue but nothing romantic. Just platonic trysts.

The villain is a man who played Ricky Tan in one of the Rush Hour movies, the one where Lee was trying to avenge his dad. The woman who played Margo was very beautiful. I could sear this movie was set in the early 20th centurn from the buildings, vehicles, clothes, hairstles and much more.

The villain was defeated and placed in a looneybin without his powers. The doctors peeled out the portion of his brain where his powers laid. The hero didn’t really get the girl but he strutted around with class, a swagger. This movie desevers a B for some sort of nostalgia and longing but everything else fades.
