An excellent film with mind-blowing special effects

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 1998)

Dark City is an excellent film that is complemented with special effects that is out of this world. The story is a little bit of a stretch and requires people to suspend their disbelief. If you don't suspend your disbelief, you'll most likely to think this is a silly comic book film but if you do, you would enjoy your cinematic experience in Dark City.
Rufus Sewell delivers a fine performance as John Murdoch a man who is unsure and his identity while Hurt is excellent as ever as the detective who seems to have come out of the 1940s film noir. The music also complements the narrative style of the film. One of the title in the soundtrack titled "Sleep Now" perfectly captures the mystery elements of Dark City. While the song "Sway" (which is sung by Connelly's character in the film) defines the 1940s era of the film.
