The Crow: Wicked Prayer is a supernatural action-thriller film released in 2005, directed by Lance Mungia. The movie is the fourth installment in The Crow film series and is loosely based on The Crow: Wicked Prayer comic book series by Norman Paradox. The film stars Yuji Okumoto, Marcus Chong, Tito Ortiz, and Edward Furlong in the lead roles.

The story is set in the fictional town of Lake Ravasu, where satanic cult leader Luc Crash (David Boreanaz) and his gang are bent on performing a ritual to gain ultimate power. They have kidnapped a young woman named Lola Byrne (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and plan to sacrifice her to complete the ritual.

After being killed in a motorcycle accident, ex-convict Jamie (Edward Furlong) is resurrected as "The Crow" by mystical powers, which gives him superhuman strength and invulnerability. Jamie is tasked with finding and saving Lola from the clutches of Luc Crash and his followers.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Cuervo (Yuji Okumoto), a Native American artist, is seeking revenge on Luc Crash and his gang for brutally murdering his girlfriend, Lily (Bai Ling). Jimmy has also been resurrected as the crow to seek vengeance for his loss.

As Jamie and Jimmy cross paths, they team up to take down Luc Crash and his cult. Along the way, they are joined by Nemo (David Chokachi), a cop who is investigating the cult's activities, and Twitch (Marcus Chong), an ex-con who helps them infiltrate the cult.

With intense action sequences, stunning visual effects, and a killer soundtrack featuring renowned rock bands, The Crow: Wicked Prayer keeps the audiences at the edge of their seats until the very end.

The movie explores themes of revenge, redemption, and supernatural powers, and how they can be used for both good and evil. It also touches on the concepts of faith, sacrifice, and the power of love and friendship.

The performances of the lead cast members are commendable, especially David Boreanaz as the villainous Luc Crash and Yuji Okumoto as the vengeful Jimmy Cuervo. Edward Furlong's portrayal of the Crow is also impressive, maintaining the dark and brooding demeanor of the character throughout the film.

The movie's visual design stands out, with its dark and gritty depictions of a town overrun by crime and corruption. The special effects used to bring the crow to life and showcase the supernatural powers of the characters are impressive, adding to the movie's overall appeal.

The soundtrack of the movie features recognizable artists such as Trapt, Disturbed, and Static-X, giving the film a distinctive rock and metal flavor that complements the action sequences perfectly.

However, some critics have criticized the plot's lack of depth and coherence, leading to a confusing and disjointed narrative. Additionally, the movie's reliance on graphic violence and gore has also been a point of contention, as some audience members find it too excessive and gratuitous.

Despite the mixed reviews, The Crow: Wicked Prayer has gained a cult following over the years, with fans lauding its stylish visuals and suspenseful action sequences. It is a worthy installment in the Crow franchise and is an entertaining watch for fans of the genre.

The Crow: Wicked Prayer is a 2005 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 39 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.0.
