Dark City


Dark City (1998)


Director: Alex Proyas

Starring: Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connolly, and William Hurt.

Description: John Murdoch awakens alone in a strange hotel to find that he has lost his memory and is wanted for a series of brutal and bizarre murders. While trying to piece together his past, he stumbles upon a fiendish underworld controlled by a group of beings known as "The Strangers" who possess the ability to put people to sleep and alter the city and its inhabitants. Now Murdoch must find a way to stop them before they take control of his mind and destroy him.

Review: I had seen this ages ago and had forggeton how brilliant it was/is. This movie was definitely ahead of its time. This is a great SciFi/Mystery. To me, the concept for this movie was ripped off by The Matrix. Granted, its not the same exact story, but there are way too many elements from Dark City that end up in The Matrix. I highly recommend to see this movie.

Score: 5 out of 5
