Reviews for The Shadow Dancer

Review - Shadow Dancer, The

I'm not sure why, but this movie just missed. The characters were pretty well cast, the scenery was beautiful and the story was interesting, particularly since I'm a writer. But it all came together a bit to patly and just wasn't satisfying at the end.
