Dollar store Matrix/Hellrasier. This films soundtrack was very dull for such a unique story. A memorable soundtrack would have greatly improved the experience. (This is the closest you will ever get to a Bioshock movie.)

Dark City is a fantastic noir sci-fi movie. It blends the two genres in a unique way. The suspenseful story of an amnesiac man who is trying to figure out his place in the story isn't breaking any tropes for storytelling but that doesn't break the movie even after all these years. The story is still intriguing with some good surprises. The acting is fantastic with a lot of well known actors getting a good amount of screen time. I have seen this movie a handful of times and it is always good.

I pity Proyas, it must feel terrible to make this movie and then have the Matrix come out a year later and make oneself look like a kindergarten kid. Hope he got a good deal on the set of Delicatessen at least. (But what a silly idea to have the big showdown consist of two people staring at each other intensely!)

This movie could have been a masterpiece but fell short of the mark. The unique and creative premise, deep themes and sci-fi noir visual style were by far its biggest strengths. Unfortunately the plot itself felt somewhat half-baked and incomplete, almost as if they had no idea which direction to take it, the acting was uniformly awful especially from Kiefer, and the ending was cheesy as hell and almost ruined the film. It's definitely good enough for a watch, but could have been so much better.
