DARK CITY = great filmmaking

Rating: Null/10 (5 June 2002)

In DARK CITY,no one is who they seem to be. It's science fiction with a healthy dose of shadowy film noir thrown in; it is a movie about
drifting smoke,funereal clothes,unyielding stone and everlasting night. It asks the question "Do our memories make us who we are?" and toys with it as the film progresses. The entire film is brilliant-it engages the viewer's imagination without being insulting. The acting is wonderful and Alex Proyas's direction performs miracles right before your eyes. A new classic.
