"With his faithful valet Kato, Britt Reid, daring young publisher, matches wits with the Underworld, risking his life so that criminals and racketeers within the law may feel its weight by the sting of the Green Hornet!"
A reboot chock full of cool effects and soft serve comedy. While the players all do respectable work and dialogue works well, the real star of this flick is the Black Beauty, a pimped out 1965 Chrysler, that serve not only as transportation but also the primary weapon of Kato and The Green Hornet. Lots of car chase scenes, explosions, gunfire, and property damage. Pretty standard Hollyweird action/comedy movie formula and it works well in this instance, producing a very 'safe' enjoyable viewing experience. I don't see it breaking any records but I can't imagine anyone will feel cheated at the end of this one. I was happy they left out a screaming damsel in distress and made it a boys night out. Would make a great opener for a double header. Green beer with Nachos.
