AN EERIE AND FASCINATING TALE

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 1999)

On the side of honesty, I'll admit that I'm not much of a sci-fi buff. However, the title and talented ensemble involved, intrigued me. WOW! What an odd, murky and thoroughly engrossing motion picture! An extra plus is the well-done special effects. Rufus Sewell is super as the lead, whose line between reality and dreams is merely millimeters thin. Keifer Sutherland is downright bizarre as the doctor. (As an actor, this man's range is limitless). William Hurt gives a superb, subdued performance as the detective. The untied shoelace bit, is quick and clever. Dark City is a well-paced, moody, interesting and creative movie; very well worth your time.
