Starring Michael Jai White as the eponymous protagonist, John Leguizamo in a combination comic relief–villain role, and Nicol Williamson in his final film role, this movie is characterized by its darker plot, retroactively underwhelming visual effects, and distinction of being the first film to feature a black actor in a major comic book superhero role.
