Fate deals young orphan Matt Murdock a strange hand when he is doused with radioactive waste. The accident leaves Matt blind but also gives him a heightened "radar sense" that allows him to "see" far better than any man. Years later Murdock has grown into a man and becomes a respected criminal attorney. But after he's done his "day job" Matt takes on a secret identity as "The Man Without Fear," Daredevil, the masked avenger that patrols the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen and New York City to combat the injustice that he cannot tackle in the courtroom.

Movie Reviews
"Ranks up there with Batman and X-Men for its melancholy, dark wit, meticulous eye for detail, baroque mise-en-scène, and crackling energy....." -- Boston Phoenix ( Read Review )
"It's not quite as strong as Spider-Man, but it's still way better than the last couple of Batman flicks and both installments of Blade....." -- Planet Sick-Boy ( Read Review )
"Affleck and Garner probe for the believable corners of their characters, do not overact, are given semi-particular dialogue, and are in a very good-looking movie....." -- Chicago Sun Times ( Read Review )
"The sort of half-assed, visually lackadaisical potboiler that makes you rue the day that comic-book franchises ever took over Hollywood...." -- Entertainment Weekly ( Read Review )
