Product Description
From Amazon.com
When attorney Julie Hastings (Frances McDormand) uncovers corrupt city real estate dealings, evil thugs attack her scientist boyfriend, Peyton Westlake (Liam Neeson). Left for dead after his lab is detonated, he miraculously survives when the ensuing blast hurls him into the nearby harbor. Treated as a John Doe at a city hospital, he is unknowingly submitted to radical therapy which numbs his nerves to feeling--but which heightens his strength and his emotions. Once conscious, Peyton escapes from the hospital and builds a ramshackle lab in an abandoned industrial plant. Horribly burned and scarred by the lab explosion, he uses synthetic skin to impersonate his would-be murderers and seek retribution for their evil deeds. Peyton also tries to reunite with Julie, who believes him to be dead. While the film has an average script, it is overcome by the flashy cinematography of Bill Pope, the bombastic score by Danny Elfman, and the well-choreographed direction of Sam Raimi. The director confidently walks the line between suspense, action, comedy, and romance as he examines a bitter, victimized antihero who risks becoming as monstrous on the inside as he appears on the outside. --Bryan Reesman

Embarrasing,
By Eolake "eolake.blogspot.com" (Lancashire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Darkman (Widescreen) (DVD)
What I mostly remember about this film, which I saw in the theatre years ago, was mediocre special effects, and that parts of it were so patently silly that the audience laughed about things that were definitely not meant as jokes.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Darkman (Widescreen) (DVD)
this movie is pretty good,all things considered.i'm sure it borrowsheavily from some horror movies in the 30's and 40's,as well as from some more modern films.still,i liked it.it has a fairly original premise,if you look at the small picture.the actual general plot has been used a lot,but the details are somewhat different(although some people might notice parallels between this one and another film,which was released a bit before.i won't give any of the plot away here,though.as for the acting,it's decent enough,but there not spectacular.then again most of the actors have characters that have little to do.except for Liam Neeson,who is superb,and puts in an award winning performance,in my mind.of course it helps that he has a fairly well defined character.at least more than the others do.the only thing i didn't like about the movie,and this is a small complaint,is that i felt it was slow at times.otherwise,i thought it was pretty good.not profound,or great,but pretty good.my vote for Darkman: 3.5/5
