THE SPIRIT (2008)




"My city screams. She is my lover. And I am her spirit."


The story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the Spirit to fight crime from the shadows of Central City.

His arch-enemy, the Octopus has a different mission: he’s going to wipe out Spirit’s beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality.

The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City’s rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront … all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader.

Surrounding him at every turn are Ellen Dolan, the whip-smart girl-next-door; Silken Floss, a punk secretary and frigid vixen; Plaster of Paris, a murderous French nightclub dancer; Lorelei, a phantom siren; and Morgenstern, a sexy young cop.

Then of course, there’s Sand Saref, the jewel thief with dangerous curves.

She’s the love of his life turned bad.

Will he save her or will she kill him?

Star(s) to watch : Eva Mendes (”Once Upon a Time in Mexico”, “2 Fast 2 Furious”, “Urban Legends: Final Cut”, “Exit Wounds”, “Ghost Rider”) as Sand Saref, Jaime King (”Pearl Harbor”, “Bulletproof Monk”) as Lorelei, Scarlett Johansson (”Eight Legged Freaks”, “The Island”) as Silken Floss, Gabriel Macht (”Behind Enemy Lines”) as Denny Colt/The Spirit, & Samuel L.

Fact : Also known as “Will Eisner’s The Spirit”, “The Spirit” marks the first time writer Frank Miller steps behind the camera as a director on his own (he co-directed “Sin City”).

Note : Adapted from the Will Eisner’s graphic novels, “The Spirit” tells the story of a man who fakes his own death and fights crime from the shadows of Central City. This movie was written and directed by Frank Miller, one of the greatest innovators in the comic book field, who produced “300″ (2007) and directed “Sin City” (2005).
