Daredevil (2003)
A blind lawyer fights crime with heightened senses, delivering gritty action and darkly comic justice.
By day, blind attorney Matt Murdock toils for justice in Hell's Kitchen. By night, he's Daredevil, The Man Without Fear - a powerful, masked vigilante stalking the dark streets with an uncanny "radar sense" that allows him to "see" with superhuman capabilities. But when the love of his life, fiery Elektra Natchios, is targeted by New York City's ruthless Kingpin of crime and his deadly assassin Bullseye, Daredevil may be about to meet his match.

Daredevil is mildly scary, with light gore and strong violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is brisk, and it is a full-attention watch. The humor runs dark. Rated PG-13.
