The Spirit is a 2008 neo-noir action film directed by Frank Miller, starring Gabriel Macht, Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson. It is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very loose adaptation of the Will Eisner pulp comic book.
It is notable for its portrayal of all women as mindless deviants driven only by base sexual and/or destructive desires.
And Sam Jackson dressing as a Nazi for reasons still unknown.
