DARK CITY

With Rufus Sewell, Jennifer Connolly, Keifer Sutherland, William Hurt, Richard O'Brian
Directed by Alex Proyas

An amazing idea very well executed by the director of
The Crow. A man wakes up with amnesia. It seems as though he has murdered someone. With cops after him, he tries to get to the bottom of it all as he discovers clues to his own identity. What he uncovers is an alternate reality where weird beings reconstruct the world where the oblivious humans follow their day-to-day lives in a '50s atmosphere. A great fusion of noir and sci-fi with cool effects and an incredible dark shadow enhanced mood. Offers a whacked out punchline on top of it all.
