Review: The Crow (on DVD)

[DVD Crow] 

This was an interesting film as it combines a story of murder and loss with supernatural phenomena and humor. In this film a young couple is murdered and the groom to be comes back from the dead to seek revenge on the gang that murdered them. Even he is rather confused as to how this happened but a year after his death a crow lands on his grave and brings him back to life with some supernatural powers, including invincibility, because he’s dead already (so long as the Crow lives). At the start of the movie we see the murders unfold and the cop who responded to the scene as well as a young friend of the couples’ who hung out with them due to difficulties at home with her mother. The cop and this young pre-teenage friend, discover that he’s come back to life and they all three help each other out. It was sort of a sad film to watch as the star of the movie, Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, died during the making of the film as the result of an accident on set. I still really enjoyed the movie and would certainly watch it again. It is rated R, mostly for violence, so it’s not for everyone, but I would recommend if you liked the John Wick movies, or dark action movies with a really good plot.
