Review of Dark City (1950) by Kevin R — 12 Oct 2015
He is searching for himself.
John Murdoch wakes up with a knife in his hand, a dead prostitute at his feet, and a strange scientist in his face telling him to run. He discovers a strange world that is dark all of the time, people seem to change daily, and strange beings are crawling across the countryside and hunting him down. He also has a detective after him due to murder. Can John find his wife and find a way out of this strange land?
"It seems you've discovered your unpleasant nature.".
Alex Proyas, director of The Crow; I, Robot; Garage Days; Knowing; and the upcoming Gods of Egypt, delivers Dark City. The storyline for this picture is entertaining and fun to watch unfold. I adored the settings, character, and overall premise. The acting is also first rate and the cast includes Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, William Holden, Jennifer Connelly, and Melissa George.
"You feeling any urges I should know about?".
I came across this on HBOGO and decided to watch it again for the first time in a long time. This is a very interesting movie that was worth a viewing but isn't as good as similar films in the genre (this actually reminded me In the Mouth of Madness). This isn't perfect, but it is worth a viewing.
"You have lost your memory.".
Grade: C+.
