Reviews
Despite feeling split about <em>'The Crow: Salvation'</em> for a decent chunk whilst watching, the more I think about it the more I recognise that I did suitably enjoy it. It took me a fair while to warm to Eric Mabius as the titular character, but by the time the end credits rolled around I got enough out of his performance - it's good enough. Kirsten Dunst is an interesting cast member, as is <em>'Prison Break'</em> alum Jodi Lyn O'Keefe. Fred Ward gives a solid showing, probably the standout away from/alongside Mabius. It's a definite improvement on the unfortunately lousy <em>'The Crow: City of Angels'</em>. The story here felt more in line with the original (if still far adrift in terms of quality and style), with enough differences but also a few callbacks of sorts. I do like how they explain the main character's facial features in this one. As for a rating, I was umming and ahing between 6/10 and 7/10. The latter just about wins out.
