Product Description

Product Description

Alec Baldwin stars with Penelope Ann Miller as the legendary crime-fighting superhero in "The wittiest action-adventure since Indiana Jones!" (NBC News). Donning his sweeping black cape and disguise, The Shadow takes on his most dangerous nemesis yet: the last descendant of the great Genghis Khan whose weapon of choice is an atomic bomb. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, they square off for a spectacular battle in a dazzling mixture of mind-blowing special effects, humor and a dose of the macabre that will hold you spellbound!

A mixed bag that received mixed reviews when released in 1994, this lavish film works overtime to honor the spirit and style of the vintage pulp novels and radio shows that made The Shadow a household name in the 1930s and '40s. Alec Baldwin plays the Shadow, a.k.a. Lamont Cranston, who arrives in New York from his decadent life in Tibet, fully reformed and disciplined in his ability "to cloud men's minds." A crime fighter who lurks in the dark recesses of the city, the Shadow faces his most deadly challenge when Shiwan Khan (John Lone), the last surviving descendant of Genghis Khan, hatches a plot to conquer the world. The scheme involves a madman (Tim Curry), a hapless scientist (Ian McKellen), and various traps designed to catch and kill the Shadow, who must also contend with his blossoming romance with Margo Lane (Penelope Ann Miller), a slender beauty capable of a little mind play of her own. The movie's art deco production design turns out to be a scene-stealer when the plot drags, and in the title role Baldwin is never given enough good material to create a compelling character. Still, The Shadow is true to the legacy that inspired it, admirably avoiding any conspicuous compromise of its 1930s style and setting. If you can't get into the story, you're sure to be hooked by the look of the production, which is never less than dazzling. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars L'ombre en haute définition !
Reviewed in France on August 3, 2016
Inutile de présenter le film qui s'inscrit dans la vague des super héros rétro des années 40 comme le Fantôme du Bengale ou Rocketeer. Les décors, costumes et effets spéciaux sont superbes et la mise en scène joue à fond sur le côté rococo des pulps. Ici, c'est un serial de luxe qui nous est offert. Si à la base, vous n'aimez pas le genre, alors vous n'aimerez assurément pas The Shadow, l'un des premiers super héros du genre, bien avant Batman et Superman.
Au vu des critiques qu'à endurer cette édition, je m'attendais au pire aussi lorsque j'ai commencé à visionner le disque, rien de ce qui avait été écrit ou dit ne m'a paru fiable, l'image est tout bonnement bluffante et enterre le DVD. Désolé, mais c'est un VRAI film en haute définition et si vous ne vous en apercevez pas, il vaudrait mieux aller chez l'oculiste !
