The Spirit himself doesn't supply much of a rooting interest; Macht's role is colorless in [more] ways than one, and we see more of the actor's nicely [sculpted] torso than his [face] (most bigscreen heroes have the decency to take off their masks once in a while). Mendes and Lauria come off better, [injecting] their perfs with sizzle and bite, respectively. 



Jaime King, so seductive in "Sin City," is required to act mostly in silhouette as a lethal lady-in-the-lake type (adding a dash of Arthurian legend to the pic's stew of Greek-mythology references), while Scarlett Johansson looks bored as the Octopus' icy sidekick, Silken Floss. This leaves the bellowing, trigger-happy Jackson to pick up the slack and chew the scenery -- or in this case, the green-screen -- gleefully [don]ning wigs, face-paint and, at one point, Nazi garb to drive home the fact that, yup, he's one weird, bad dude.



bellow

–verb (used without object) 

1. to emit a hollow, loud, animal cry, as a bull or cow



wig

假髮

British Informal. to reprimand 

or 

reprove severely; scold.

The teacher wigged him [for] absent-mindedness.



Visually and viscerally, "The Spirit" is less extreme and intense than "Sin City," and d.p. Bill Pope periodically allows some warmth and color to bleed into his stark palette. There's no denying the fastidiousness and occasional virtuosity of the overall design, or the lustrous texture of the widescreen images. But all this incessant monochrome [has] its perils, too: When a man falls to the ground, his body covered with white bloodstains, it's unclear whether he's been felled by bullets or by incontinent birds.



lustrous

–adjective 

1. having luster; shining; luminous: lustrous [eyes].



fell

–verb (used with object) 

1. to knock, strike, shoot, 

or 

cut down; cause to fall: I won't allow them to fell the [trees] here. He felled his [opponent] with a single blow.
