the crow represent salvation ( 2000 ) be good than what i expect . although the straight to video feel be apparent during the action scene and salvation be a really good sequel in the crow series . let me tell you and it a lot good than city of angel and which ( in my opinion ) just do not capture the feel of the first crow film . anyway and the story this time around be this representlauren randall ( jodi lyn okeefe ) be brutally murder by be rap and stab 53 time . her boyfriend and alex corvis ( eric mabius ) and be wrongfully accuse and be sentence to die by way of electrocution . alex claim that he be innocent and and that a man with strange marking on his arm be the real killer . regardless and on alex twenty first birthday and he be electrocute . but due to lightning strike the prison and alex receives more of a harsh death . it doesn not help that the man with the scar on his arm watch . the crow brings alex back from the dead to bring justice upon those who have kill lauren and to find the scarred man . since he be electrocute and alex face be horribly burn . the men who do him wrong be vincent erlich ( dale midkiff ) and phillip dutton ( bill mondy ) and stan robber ( walt goggins ) and and martin toomey ( tim dekay ) and all of whom be corrupt police officer . a alex begin to kill the guilty and he prove his innocence to lauren sister erin ( kirsten dunst ) and who deeply distraught over her sister death . erin father nathan ( william atherton ) be also have trouble cop . a alex be unleashing carnage upon the police officer and the captain ( fred ward ) become extremely interested in alex and the legendary crow . alex get more than he bargain for and however and when his action cause erin to be in fatal danger . the violence be of course bloody or gory and but this time it actually feel justified like the first time with eric . plus and it always good to see police officer get theirs when death be knock on the door . alex use his heal power more often than his predecessor and either from the actual need to heal or just to be playful . a common occurrence in all three crow movie seem to be that each hero be shoot repeatedly by several people and which undoubtedly prove their short live immortality . alex and unlike ashe from the second film and have fun with his victim while he torture or kill them . it a well follow up to the first film . the acting be decent and but nothing mind blowing . eric mabius seem to have more fun do the action scene than the deep or heart felt scene ( trust me and it show ) . kirsten dunst and surprisingly and be both pretty and can act good . everyone else isn not convince in their role . sorry to make yet another comparison to the first film and but what make the first film stand out be that the villain have depth and each one be unique . in both crow sequel and the villain be introduce and then they face off with the crow . zero depth . just all typical tough villain that try too hard to be consider evil or brutal . while it no masterpiece and salvation pull it weight and manages to be really good . just skip over city of angel and see this instead . still and although it not perfect and the crow series be one of my personal favorite movie series . i can not wait to see what they do with the fourth one . i give the crow represent salvation ( 2000 ) a positive .
