Review of Dark City (1998) by Francisco G — 05 Dec 2012
An amazingly shot noir sci fi action flick, with plenty of eye candy to make large productions shy away with it's fantastic attention to detail, originality and depth.
Not just a visual treat, the story is pretty good and has a very similiar theme to the same year's also genius The Matrix. The story leaves us confused at first, sharing the amnesia of the protagonists and odd events start to make sense even when they get too outrageous. Smartly edited (you can see this right on the first waking up scene) and nicely acted, Dark City provides a ride like few others can't, with originality, heart, fun and doesn't insult your intelligence in the process, save for a bit too over the top last fight sequence.
