Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Busks its 1940s saga of dark redemption with considerable visual energy, if not always coherence or competence. Mar 13, 2014 Full Review Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice Here's a hearty keep-at-it award for Christopher Folino and Todd Burrows, directors of this restless, reckless superhero crime curio ... Mar 11, 2014 Full Review Andrew Pollard Starburst With a well-delivered, intriguing story combined with multi-layered characters and a tone that makes Gotham City's gargoyles look like singing angels, Sparks is the superhero genre's dirty little secret. Rated: 8/10 Apr 12, 2018 Full Review Doug Brunell Film Threat This film is far better than it has any right to be. Rated: 4/5 Jul 18, 2014 Full Review Rick Bentley Fresno Bee Sparks shows plenty of cinematic muscle. It deserves a place among the legion of superhero movies.

Audience Member A wannabe sin city that is kinda all over the place but not bad 3.0 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/20/22 Full Review Facebook U Underrated by the fans of superhero movies who don't seem to understand the Noir genre. Granted, I am not a big fan of dark themed fiction, I still found the movie very well done. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/07/22 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic movie which let's the audience in just enough to see the sides of both cat and mouse. The plot twists keep you on edge until the end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Like so many budget films, it had promise. Unfortunately, it's promise it doesn't keep. Questions left open and the answers you do get, you wish you hadn't. A truly disappointing last hour or so. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review steve d Dark, depressing, poorly shot and making the cardinal sin of screwing up its description of my home town. Sparks gives you little to cheer for and little to care about. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A superhero noir! I don't know where to begin, but the film kicked off with the heavy influence of 'Kick-Ass' and 'Sin City'. But the actual film was based on the graphic novel. Though the overall film looks so different, mainly because of the characters. The story was not anything extraordinary, not event the stunts which very essential for a theme like this. I don't know what the budget was, but looks like it made with a tight financial circumstance. The quality was acceptable, even though falls short to entertain us. It was not high-end superhero film, Kind of a superhero noir. The costumes were not fancy enough to attract. I think the actors were not bad, only their roles were. Written, produced and directed by some unknown B movie filmmaker who also the brain of the original graphic novel. He had a decent source, but the modern superhero films need those magical touch of twists and turns where this in lacked thoroughly. Seeing the reviews and ratings, it looks like some people liked it, but don't get deceived by that. I'm not saying it was so bad, but I was not impressed, so anlyse it well before picking up to watch. 4.5/10 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
