parents), and his deadly assassin, Bullseye (Colin Farrell).
Overall, Daredevil is a solid action/superhero film, with some great action sequences, some reasonable (in small doses) acting and a finely told story.

. There is little consideration paid to anyone during the movie that might meet with a bullet accidentally or otherwise. The language is quite safe, no preponderance of bad language to offend just the odd swear word as and when required.
Is Ronin any good? Well it is, but its not one of those films that you?ll walk away going ?that?s really good?. Its one of those movies that you realise is good but cant imagine why you have not watched it more often. Today?s viewing was the first time I?d seen the film since 1999. And I remember looking at my old DVD on many occasions thinking on whether to watch it or not. Unfortunately it took the definitiveedition to make me see it again.

DVD Description
The Marvel Comics superhero Daredevil (Ben Affleck), is a man blinded by a radioactive chemical accident as a young boy but left with superhuman senses and agile acrobatic ability. Like his Marvel compatriot Spider-Man, Daredevil attempts to lead a normal life by day as Matt Murdock, a Hell's Kitchen defence attorney. By night Matt becomes Daredevil, a brooding superhero fighting for justice in the dark and squalid New York streets overrun with vermin and criminal injustice. Wearing a red leather suit and mask, Daredevil leaps from high skyscrapers and tracks his enemies with his radar-like vision, punishing those who are guilty but whom he cannot tackle in the courtroom. At the centre of the city's villainous underbelly is Daredevil's nemesis Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan) and his psychotic, knife-wielding deputy-assassin Bullseye (Colin Farrell). Daredevil fights their powerful forces alone, until he meets Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner of ALIAS fame), a skilled martial artist and sexy superheroine who is after Bullseye and Kingpin for murdering her father. Sparks fly as the two heroes take on the underlords of crime together in this action-packed adventure fantasy that will surely delight fans of SPIDER-MAN, X-MEN, or BATMAN.
