This was "The Matrix" before "The Matrix"

Rating: 9/10 (12 July 1999)

What can I say? The production oozes style and flair. However, slight imperfections flawed the movie. One year later, "The Matrix" comes along, with a suspiciously similar plot -- only with a bigger budget, and as an action movie. "The Matrix" had everything that "Dark City" lacked. Watch them both, and then see the inspiration behind this summer's greatest action movie.
