An unsung masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2002)

I will never forget the first time the matrix came out in 1999. Everybody went on and on about how great and original that film was. But anybody who thought they saw the same film about a year before hand werent seeing thing's,as dark city is a far more original and groundbreaking film. It may be a less action packed film than the matrix,but it has a more grown up script and a darker,gothic tone(maybe that's why it floped at the box office)than the desperately cool,comic book tone of the matrix. Dont get me wrong i like the matrix,but it seemed more intersted with being cool and stageing nifty action set piece's,as a result dark city will allways be the better, more exceptional film to me
10 out of ten
