Review of Darkman (1990) by Andrew G — 16 Feb 2010

This is a decent adventure movie. Plays like a comic book. We have character Dr. Peyton Westlake played by Liam Neeson who creates synthetic skin. But a gangster called Durant played by Larry Drake ends up destroying his work and leaves him for dead in a explosion.

Now scarred and left for dead he goes on a rampage of vengance agianst criminals. He uses his synthetic skinformula to help create disguises and take down Durant. That is the basic plot. The story is actually well done and the film has a nice flow to it.

The main character Darkman is a very dark hero and played well by Liam Neeson. The movie is full of explosions and action. Great for this type of story. If your into movies that have that comic book look and feel to them then give this a watch.
