Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It offers a diverting, nostalgic retreat to the innocent days when crime fighting was a pleasant, rich man's hobby.

rotten:
Baldwin's low-key performance lacks charisma, Lone alternates between lip-smacking villainy and camp humour, and Miller is chiefly a clothes-horse for a series of slinky '30s frocks.

rotten:
Despite similarities as a vigilante creature of the night, however, the Shadow -- a character that enjoyed its greatest success in radio after being created in pulp novels -- lacks the visceral appeal of Batman and won't strike the same chord.

fresh:
It has enough of the innocent exoticism and splendor of silent thrillers to suggest a continuity with the past missing from most other movies; all that's required is a capacity to sit back and dream.

rotten:
The movie has all the coherence of a bad acid flashback.
