JUSTICE IS BLIND. SO IS HE.
Every day, blind attorney Matt Murdock (Ben Affleck) fights crime in courtrooms and every night he puts on a leather outfit, calls himself Daredevil and fights crime with his fists.Ā This Marvel superhero has a few things in common with Batman, another leathery hero with a scarred psyche; Daredevil is blind and the filmmakers portray his situation in a convincing way. This is a nicely produced, smooth and creative action movie; Affleck is nothing special as the depressed hero, but Jennifer Garner does a sexy turn as Elektra and no one can do Kingpin like Michael Clarke Duncan.
