A dark, surreal version of James O'Barr's 1980s cult comic book. Brandon Lee (son of Bruce) plays a rock musician returning from the grave to take revenge on the notorious street gang who murdered him and his fiancée. It's a stunningly designed fantasy with Grand Guignol gloominess at a jolting premium. The comic-book origins may be too obvious at times, but the dynamic action scenes and the bravura kinetic style of director Alex Proyas mean it always grips and thoroughly entertains. A masterpiece compared to its lousy sequel, this dark fable about life after death was given a poignant spin when Lee was tragically killed during an on-set stunt accident.

"...[A] dazzling fever dream of a movie....Lee is sensational on all counts in a final performance that brims over with athleticism and ardor..."

GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!!!!!!
Great acting, great plot, great action scenes, GREAT FILM! If you haven't seen this film yet, then watch it, and if you have, watch it again! The day the the crow was made it became a cult classic straight off! Brandon Lee is the perfect guy to play the Crow and the other actors are great aswell! If only they made films like this nowadays, I'd be infront of the T.V all day!!
