Better than I thought it would be based on the rep it has. The only really bad moment is the playground fight when Matt meets Elektra - Laughable stuff. It seems that many superhero movies go into too much detail about the origin of well-known superheroes, but here I don't think we learn enough about the genesis of Daredevil's abilities. The other main issue is the thin story. Scenes including a whole subplot were removed to reduce the running time and I don't think that helped the film. Despite Stan Lee apparently disliking the film, because he felt the film was "too tragic", the darker tone it has compared to most Marvel films works. There is some decent action and at only 80 minutes it doesn't overstay its welcome.

The director should've just made a documentary if he wanted to bring light to the issues he is trying to shed light on here. Instead, he's made a weird film that isn't very exciting or funny like I was expecting. The whole 'sweet shop' problem isn't exactly unknown to the populous either.

A thief wants to come clean after meeting a woman who he wants to marry. The story has problems and when it tries to be tense and exciting it doesn't pull it off like Neeson's other films. Fairly forgettable.

I've never been a huge fan of the instrumental type of tracks that '80s and some early '90s rap albums used to have. I generally find them to lose their appeal fairly early on and this album is a good example of that for me. Most of the first half with Will (the rapper) telling the stories are fairly good tunes with such classics as 'Parents Just Don't Understand' and 'Here We Go Again' to name a couple, but by the second half the instrumentals (with DJ Jazzy) become to take up most of the tracks and I generally don't get very far into them without feeling bored. A good album though for the most part. Best Tracks: Nightmare on My Street, Time to Chill, Here We Go Again, Parents Just Don't Understand.

About half of this is what you expect from a Keith Murray project, and the rest is really weak hip hop. Erick Sermon, who produced pretty much everything on his previous albums, is only involved in four of these songs and it shows, with some questionable, ill-fitting production. Of the four beats Erick created, three are comfortably among the best tracks here. 2-2.5/5 Best Tracks: The Carnage, Sucka Free, On Smash, Say Goodnite, Child of the Streets
