    I rented this movie because i really enjoyed Cuba Gooding Jr in 'A Murder of Crows'. Not Gooding's best role but he is believable. In The Shadows is sort of your run of the mill violent movie. The plot changes up a bit however because the hit man (Matthew Modine) has some sense of conscience in an environment that is cold and heartless. The love story that builds is mediocre.

    Not a bad movie although the plot stretches the viewer's imagination--the hit man developing a relationship with the daughter of the guy he is about to kil?

    Just average. Had it not been for James Caan it would have been less than good; maybe even a Bomb.
