A blind super hero in a tight red suit. Matched by an equally spirited and agile leading lady and topped up with a villain who had the kind of aim any sharp shooter would give his right arm for, this film had everything it takes to hit the Bullseye.

Jennifer Garner and Colin Farrell were excellent. Ben Affleck had his moments, so did the Kingpin, but there were some minor problems. Too much screen time was spent explaining the Daredevil�s childhood and powers because of which the villains seemed to get precious little screen time resulting in a scenario where you know the guy is the kingpin, but as far as you�ve seen he hasn�t done anything bad, so obviously it�s a bit difficult to hate the poor guy. It was also a bit illogical as to why Elektra gave dear Matt the heave ho after her father died, irrespective of how distraught she was at the time. Luckily the misunderstanding was washed away with a knife struck straight through the daredevil�s heart.

The chemistry between the lead pair was hot and yes, we loved the playground scene though we do wish Matt hadn�t quite held back � maybe he should have asked for her number as well.

The heavy metal background score was a breath of fresh air as were the histrionics of the heroine � quite a difference from the demure and vulnerable leading lady played by Kirsten Dunst in Spiderman.

Hell�s Kitchen vs. The Bronx. Many New Yorker�s would identify with that. The end leaves a small window open for a sequel; and of course, �the man without fear� continues to prowl hi neighborhood at night, helping those who no one else will �

At the box office � bullseye.
