Needless to say, storywise,The Spiritis a curious ride from start to finish.

The plot is constantly moving and jumping to different characters in different situations with little context given.

Which is a great shame because there are some elements of a superb film in there somewhere.

The cinematography fromBill Popeis glorious, effectively capturing the shadow-like cartoonishness of Central City inMiller’s distinctive style.

Apparently, it IS Morbin' time.

Heleans into the stylized melodrama required for the rolein sucha pulpy, noir-esque film.

Does that make it not worth watching?

Not in the slightest.

Perhaps, Macht will return to making movies soon.
