Review of Dark City

Dark City (1998)
7/10
An excellent sci-fi thriller
14 September 2010
At first it looked a bit dreary and just another detective film but things soon get interesting when the strangers begin looking for the main character, who is confused by a doctor who keeps saying he can help, and the fact that he has supposedly committed 6 murders, and he remembers none of it.

Richard O'Brien is fantastic and I can't imagine any other actor playing his role, just the right amount of morbid Eerieness to him. Keifer Sunderland is brilliant as the scientist who is bullied into helping the strangers, even though his speech get's a little annoying it adds to the character.

This was recommended to my by my dad who is also quite the fan of sci-fi thrillers, and at first I was a little worried it might not be to my taste, but later i found myself enjoying it. Maybe not my favourite sci-fi, for the photography and visual effects, but certainly one worth buying,for the interesting characters and brilliantly creative story.
