Entertainment Reviews:
...Baldwin's interior struggle is the stuff of literature... - Recommended
Premiere
Despite similarities as a vigilante creature of the night, however, the Shadow -- a character that enjoyed its greatest success in radio after being created in pulp novels -- lacks the visceral appeal of Batman and won't strike the same chord.
Variety
Rating: C+ --
It's a failed attempt to revive a former pulp hero who has been passe for years.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
...THE SHADOW displays considerable bravura....A pleasing period look...
Sight and Sound
Rating: 3/5 --
It offers a diverting, nostalgic retreat to the innocent days when crime fighting was a pleasant, rich man's hobby.
New York Times
Baldwin's low-key performance lacks charisma, Lone alternates between lip-smacking villainy and camp humour, and Miller is chiefly a clothes-horse for a series of slinky '30s frocks.

Time Out
...Sleek, entertaining....Baldwin [is] a wily actor who brings along just the right mix of do-goodism and evil potential...
New York Times
Product Description:
"Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of men' The Shadow knows." Based on the long- running radio program, this atmospheric feature follows the exploits of Lamont Cranston, aka the Shadow, as he battles the last descendant of Ghengis Khan who has come to take over New York City through mass hypnosis. See other new releases, "Behind the Mask" (1937) and "The Shadow Strikes" (1937) for the first film adventures of the Shadow.

The Shadow
Movie Lover: Wookie from
Pittsburgh,Pa. -- March, 29, 2008
Here is entertainment at a level when we would spend our quarters and dimes on saturday mornings at matinees all over the world to cheer for the good guy and hate the bad guy. Nostalgia is all through this period piece and makes you yearn for those days long gone buy. Alec Baldwin is an excellent choice for the hero's alter ego "The Shadow" To say I loved this movie is an understatement and you will love it too. Get your popcorn ready folks !!!
