Dark City (1998)
Directed by Alex
Proyas this film stars Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer
Connelly and William Hurt. A man with amnesia struggles to unlock his
memories and solve the puzzle behind the strange goings on in the
city he appears to be trapped in.
This film combines
elements of noir cinema with science fiction to tell a story inspired
by Plato's allegory of the cave. While this film has plenty of really
interesting elements it never really manages to combine them all
successfully, partly do to the unsatisfying lack of answers provided.
Some of the special effects do seem a little dated for a film made so
recently and I personally found Sutherland's performance rather
hammy.
4/5
