this be more than a sat . afternoon special . exremely well write if very low key there be a lot here if you look for it . catch the cat companion or scout for instance . it not only could have be a comic book it should have be a comic book . the comic industry ( as well a the film publicist ) miss the boat on this . one of the least know really great film . a great script by john sayles be a strong point but the acting be good as well . probably the best super hero film i have ever see . short on special effect but long on believability . this one a keeper . i have never see a dvd of this film but i use to own a vhs version . good hunting .
