Catwoman

Directed by Pitof1h 44m2004

Liquidated after discovering a corporate conspiracy, mild-mannered graphic artist Patience Phillips washes up on an island, where she's resurrected and endowed with the prowess of a cat — and she's eager to use her new skills... as a vigilante. Before you can say "cat and mouse", handsome gumshoe Tom Lone is on her tail, fascinated by both of her personas.

Our read: Catwoman (2004) reads as a sombre, breathless, inventive action · fantasy · crime entry — extreme in intensity, epic-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.

Skip it tonight — You expect coherent plotting or dignity from your comic book movies.

If Catwoman is your film
Elektra (2005)
Female-led comic adaptation widely considered a misfire
(You want more intentional camp)
Supergirl (1984)
Cheesy cape-and-catfight superhero curio from another era
(You need modern production values)
Barb Wire (1996)
Campy female action hero in ridiculous future-noir
(You dislike Pamela Anderson era cheese)
