The Shadow battles a secret society with roots in Africa, in this exciting, fast-paced, if forgettable adventure. It has a couple of clever twists, and Gibson's attention to detail in the escape sequences is always fascinating. But the plot is thin, and the finale unmemorable. Recommended for fans, though.
