Daniel Radcliffe acquits himself reasonably well in his first adult big-screen role, a man haunted by "the Woman in Black."
He plays a young lawyer, a single father and a widower with enough conviction to make this spooky period piece credible, though one might wish for a little more fear in the character and in his performance when confronted by the supernaturally sinister.
I guess once you've faced down Lord Voldemort, you ain't afraid of no ghosts. (Full review)
