About

You may enjoy this if you like pulpy, family-friendly vigilante stories with a comic-book edge, somewhere between Black Lightning and The Green Hornet; Not for you if campy tone, shaky realism, or corny one-liners quickly wear you down.

Pros: entertaining pulpy fun; interesting vigilante premise; strong villains | Cons: cheesy dialogue; uneven tone; feels derivative
