![]() The 5.1 track is fine but oddly the big audio moment comes in chapter five with a doorbell ring. On DVD the shattering mirror glass is quite amazing in both detail and brightness. The visual highlight of the film is a ripped-off sequence from "Enter the Dragon" as Alec fights his nemesis in a hall of mirrors. Overall it's the type of visceral experience you'd expect from the director of " Highlander" although Mulcahy is unable to make much of the thin plot. But despite its shoddy script it does benefit from superior art direction that looks a million dollars on DVD.Īlec Baldwin puts in his usual smug performance, this time as "The Shadow" and gets to leap around some beautiful sets, often shrouded in a muted palette that's clear and detailed on this disc. The notable lack of any sequels is evidence of its poor impact at the box office. Universal Pictures tried to get a slice of the "Batman" pie by launching the adventures of the crime fighting 1930s US radio icon "The Shadow" onto the big screen.
