Messianic

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2004)

The film that came before the Matrix. From the man who gave us The Crow, Dark City contains many of the later SF epic's themes - mysterious men in black patrolling what seems to be an ordinary world until one man wakes up to find everything's been manipulated. It falls short of The Matrix if only because it lacks flo-mo fight sequences...but it kicks the arse of Reloaded and Revolutions.
