I think that sums up my reaction to the movie as well. It was OK. But given everything it had going for it–its cast, its character, etc.–it should’ve been much much better. (I have the same feeling about the movie SNEAKERS: pretty good. Shoulda been better…)

Has anyone out there in La-La Beat land seen the new Shadow and Doc Savage reprint volumes? Are they out yet? I've been all over LA looking for them - even Mystery specialty stores. ~ Coat What was really bizarro was that they intregated more elements out of a Doc Savage novel than a Shadow one - especially the crime college montage at the end where all little bad mobsters get their brains cleansed and get released to society as good little society dronebees.

A far from perfect interpretation, but a decent movie nevertheless. Plus, it boasted Ian McKellan, Penelope Ann Miller, Tim Curry, Jonathan Winters and Peter Boyle. You could do worse.
