Frank D'Arbo is a short order cook who is married to recovering drug addict Sarah. He comes home one day to find that Sarah has left him and moved in with club owner Jacques. In his upset at this, Frank has a vision of the finger of God coming down to touch him. He is then inspired by a religious TV show about the Christian superhero The Holy Avenger. After getting advice from the comic-book store employee Libby, he makes a masked superhero costume to become The Crimson Bolt. Wielding a wrench, he goes out into the streets in costume and batters in the heads of drug dealers, pedophiles and those who force their way ahead of him in a queue. This gains publicity on the news. However, when he bursts into Jacques's house to rescue Sarah, he is shot and wounded. He seeks refuge with Libby who has suspected that he is The Crimson Bolt. After patching him up, she becomes immensely excited about what he is doing and makes her own costume with the intention of becoming his sidekick, naming herself Boltie. Arming themselves more heavily, the two of them set out on Frank's intended mission to rescue Sarah back from Jacques's clutches.
Whats with the low ratings , I don't know what movies you all saw, but this one was brilliant. Ellen Page is amazing as Boltie , the oversexed sadist. I bought all th characters. The animated opening is brilliant times ten. Life is more like this than the movie "Kick Ass". Hero's with real flaws, real pain and an emotional issue the size of King Kong. He is rife with our imperfection. / The Crimson BoltI highly recommend this movie for every adult that fails in life, yet still struggles on. The last five minutes made me cry , you will too.
