The Green Hornet



When a father tells his son “Why bother trying if you always fail?” that child will probably sublimate that future trauma into booze and a D.I.Y. superhero outfit. Probably. I don’t know. My parents’ loved me. But for Brett Reid, he did precisely that: he fabricates The Green Hornet. With the aid of his all-purpose Swiss-army Asian, they swart the town’s criminal underworld while posing as one of them. Biggest problem: Brett Reid is an incompetent jackass; a frustrating character to watch. However, when the comedy hits, it gets the kidney. And when the action fires, it’s a god-damn spectacle.
