"A guy turns up looking like a mime from hell..."It's Devil's night in Detroit and Shelly (Sofia Webster) is raped, then her and her fiance Eric (Brandon Lee) are murdered. A year on and Eric is back for revenge on T-Bird (David Patrick Kelly) and his gang. Before moving onto the ultimate crime overlord Top Dollar (Michael Wincott). All this is watched over by local cop Sergeant Albrecht (Ernie Hudson) and Sarah (Rochelle Davis), a child the couple had taken under their wing.
A movie known by most for the death of it's star Brandon Lee on set, mere days from the end of filming. Considered by most as a haunting adaption from its comic roots, and others for its superficial plot, badly written screenplay and one-dimensional characters. Me I don't mind these, its not the worst comic adaption I've seen, the action is directed effectively and it moves along at a fine pace. A gothic masterpiece or a dark nightmare, you take your pick.
