Imagine a city of perpetual darkness, where every midnight time
stops, the buildings morph en masse and the citizens swap lives (all
seamlessly orchestrated by Nosferatu-like "Strangers" ). Only one
soul seems to be immune to this gruesome experiment, and he's being
chased by the cops for a series of brutal murders he doesn't remember
committing. The Strangers are tailing him too, not only because of
his apparent immunity but because he's suddenly developed
matter-manipulating skills of his own. Not surprisingly, Alex Proyas,
the man who directed "The Crow", is behind this sinister tale. And
though, like "The Crow", "Dark City" has great style (and a broody
British hunk, Rufus Sewell -- who's actually very funny in
person -- as its star), the film quite never lives up to its dark
promise.
