The visual style of Darkman is extremely good - helped along by excellent direction from Evil Dead bloke Sam Raimi. At certain points the city landscape reminds you of Gotham from the Batman films.
The idea of being able to change your face to look like somebody elses, only for 99 minutes, is a great idea. The bit where Larry Drake's character comes face to face with himself at the revolving doors is execellent.
Looking back on this film from nearly a decade ago it still surprises me that Liam Neeson is in the lead role. He has rarely done anything other than straight dramas so it is refreshing to see him in the film such as this.
