REVIEW | ‘The Crow’ reimagined is stylish and operatic, but cannot outfly 1994 original

Quick Summary:

It’s a metaphor, of course, and a clunky one at that — a powerful image that doesn’t really fit well and is never explained.

To use that very first metaphor, it’s like the trapped white horse — held down by its own painful past, never free to gallop on its own.“The Crow,” a Lionsgate release is now showing in Philippine cinemas.

There are lots of cool-looking moments — mostly Skarsgård in a trench coat, stomping around the desolate concrete jungle in the rain at night — until “The Crow” builds to one of the better action sequences this year, albeit another one of those heightened showdowns at the opera.
