Nadir Samara has been writing professionally for almost a decade in various media. His focus has always been on film, both writing and working on set. After writing for Netflix Film, he directed a commercial for Mozilla and worked in production at a CGI studio.
In 1994, Alex Proyas brought James O’Barr’s The Crow comic to life with the help of writers David J. Schow and John Shirley . Brandon Lee, a promising young actor and son of Bruce Lee, would portray the lead with Ernie Hudson and Michael Wincott in supporting roles. The result is the premier cult classic of the 90s. The Crow easily overcomes its camp and inconsistent CGI by simply being itself. The creatives are working with extreme confidence, and it shows in every frame.
1 Across town, underground kingpin Top Dollar gets word of a man with white face paint killing off his men one by one. When Eric realizes it was Top’s men who attacked him and Shelly, he burns through the middlemen and finds himself face-to-face with the author of his misery. Everything that comes out of his mouth has the effervescence of someone who knows exactly what the actor opposite him is going to say. It's not in a stiff manner that implies he is just going through the motions of the script, though, but more like an erratic god preaching the gospel of death. The performance is just that, a performance, and when Lee is front and center the film can do no wrong.
