MASTERPIECE

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2001)

DARK CITY should be on everyone's best SCI FI movies of all time.
I cannot understand someone who says this is the worst movie of the year.
First if all, Rufus Sewell is very good as John Murdoch. He displays his confusion and panic very well. William Hurt is supposed to be bland and placid. Kiefer Sutherland does a fine job with a Peter Lorresque role. Jennifer Connelly...... okay, she has a nice rack. But really, again, her character, like others, is supposed to be wandering around in a dream-state. So, she is very sedate like most women in film noir movies.
Richard O'Brien is chilling as Mr Hand (not to be confused with the Ray Walston character in FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH) as is that creepy little kid with the teeth. I don't see the Strangers as Cenobite rip-offs. They are bald and dress in leather...so?
My only complaint is that I wish the movie was longer.
My favorite sci fi (or SF for you elitists)
