Dark City
I watched this with Gareth last night. I have to say that I was sceptical, I generally hate films that are always dark and was never a huge fan of Richard O'Brian. Nevertheless I was cajoled into watching with the offer of a cup of tea.
It begins well, although the title sequence is a bit TV movie for me. There's an instant Minority Report/Martix vibe, which permeates the whole film (although it predates both of them, I believe). The story is good, it doesn't over stretch itself, but suffers perhaps from a lack of big name talent. Apart from the aforementioned baldie (who's actually quite good, so it just goes to show) the only actor I knew was Keifer Sutherland (whose presence adds to the TV movie feeling) he's OK, but I didn't think he really suited the roll and perhaps over played it a little.
I shan't reveal the plot, as it would spoil the movie. Suffice to say that it delivers and doesn't leave too much hanging at the end.
6/10 - Worth a watch if it's on.
