THE PHANTOM (1996)
Much like The Shadow before it, The Phantom was an attempt to give new life to an old pulp action hero. Of course, when you cast the impenetrable Billy Zane as ''the Ghost Who Walks'' — the latest in a long line of white African folk heroes who guard against, er, pirates — put him in a ridiculous skintight uni-hero-tard, and ask him to look tough, bad things will happen. Treat Williams looks like he's in a totally different movie, as a power-mad American rich guy. Oh, and this is the movie Catherine Zeta-Jones wishes was not on her résumé. —Marc Bernardin
