Dark City
They built the city to see what makes us tick. Last night one of us went off.
When John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) awakens in a strange hotel room, he finds that he is wanted for a series of brutal murders. The problem is he can't remember a thing. Pursued by the police and haunted by The Strangers, mysterious beings who possess the ability to stop time and alter reality, he seeks to unravel the twisted riddle of his identity. But in a city where reality is the ultimate illusion, discovering the truth could be fatal.

this was a great movie that i totally missed when it came out. its dark, weird and feels really fresh from most movies we get every year. it should be seen by anyone who likes movies. it is one of those movies that will make you think about your place in the universe or earth and how you view your world and the way you live in general.Surprenant - matheos
Je suis tombé récemment sur le film "Dark City" via les recommendations de Zip.ca et j'ai été agréablement surpris par ce film avangardiste à la croisée des chemins entre Blade Runner, Matrice et "Qui veut la peau de Roger Rabbit". Rufus Sewell avec son regard énigmatique joue le rôle du héros qui s'est échappé partiellement du processus d'effacage de la mémoire. Kiefer Sutterland campe un personnage un peu trop caricactural à des milles de ses rôles de justiciers habituels. Le concept même du film est fort intéressant.One Of Those Movies You Have To Experience - Cruel_Intentions
Dark City will forever be etched in my memory as one of the most original Science Fiction films I've ever seen.
The Strangers make for an interesting enemy, and are introduced within the first couple of seconds of the film, though you don't actually see them for a while after that. The way they work and the things they do are quite believable, compared to some Sci-fi I've seen that have tried out some of the same concepts that are worked to perfection in Dark City.
I won't spoil anything, and I don't want to. This is one of those movies you have to experience for yourself. The acting and the plot are both great, and excellently directed. It definitely feels dark, moody, and depressing the whole way through.
Dark City was an interesting experience for me, and I recommend it to any who fancy themselves science fiction fans.
