SUPER

I don't know what's scarier: Rainn Wilson coming at you, wielding a heavy set of pliers, or those tight spandex he wears, hugging his milky-white thighs. Wilson stars in a dark comedy about a man trying to get his wife back from under the seduction of a drug dealer (Kevin Bacon).

To do so, Wilson dresses up as the 'Crimson Bolt', brandishes his unorthodox weapon, and sets out to bring justice to an unruly world, one lowlife at a time. Liv Tyler plays his wife, Ellen Page stops by as 'Boltie'--the young sidekick of the Bolt, and Kevin Bacon is the aforementioned dealer. If this story couldn't get any greater, Nathan Fillion (Serenity) joins in, in what can only be a superb performance.

As funny as this looks (and it does indeed), there's definintely an underlying current of darkness here which should only add to the fun this film looks to inhibit.

Shut up, crime!
