So kinda on topic. I finally saw "The Crow" all the way through last year. Hadn't seen pieces since I was a kid. And…I think it sucks. Outside of the aesthetic and premise, the movie is just a poorly structured delivery system for "cool." Something The Matrix would actually pull off five years later. I can't stand the…

That's a good way to describe her in it. The 90s weirdly started regressing in depictions of action heroines. Cutthroat has Davis trying to balance butch with sex appeal and ending up not being very appealing (She's no Sigourney). She does a much better job in "The Long Kiss Goodnight" a year later.

Sean Harris was a terrific villain in Rogue Nation. So menacing. I had no idea how they were going to defeat him and that made for an exciting climax.
