My Review-
This movie had me confused at times, the beginning I found myself wondering what the hell was going on, and for some of the movie I was still like that. Some of the acting was okay, I like Peter Boyle in the film even though he was not in it that much. The other think I liked about this movie was the time setting that it was in since I am into that time period where they got where suits all the time. It had something to do with Ghanis Kahn or something like that or his nephew I'm not too sure. I am not too sure why Ian McKellen was in the movie he did not have a very big part, and half the time it was one or two words that sounded like he was bored or something. When Baldwin became his alter ego, "The Shadow", I thought he over acted in all the scenes and should have toned it down a bit. Even the climax of the movie was too over acted, and I was just waiting for the scene to be over with. At times there was some comedic relief that made the movie a little bit better but other than that it was confusing, over acted and it just looked nice because of the time period it was set in.
