Darkman [DVD] [Standard]

This movie is a straight up guilty pleasure that held some originality for itself in 1990 putting every action-movie trick in the book. Liam Nesson plays a skin-graft bio-chemist slain and left for dead by gangsters only to use his facial graft technology to impersonate any man he wants and revenge on his killers. Directed by Sam Raimi of 'Spiderman' thru 'Spiderman 3' early 2000, and with Frances Mcdormand before 'Fargo' and 'Transformers 3'- Liam Neeson shows particular action chops before 'Taken' and hams it up as the tortured hero. A movie to any fan of the talents listed.

This is a great sci-fi action B-flick that is sure to please fans of the genre. The anamorphic widescreen presentation is acceptable, but the complete lack of bonus features for this film is not. Taking into consideration that this movie really helped boost Sam Raimi's career, I'm quite surprised a special edition has never surfaced.

I thought I had remembered this being a good movie from "back in the day", so I bought it. I hadn't watched it in several years and couldn't believe how cheesy it was. Liam Neeson's acting was sub par, and the whole thing was just campy. I ended up watching it to the end, hoping it would get better, which it didn't, and I ended up giving it to Goodwill.

this was a really great movie, everyone did a really good performance! i would recommoned this movie because it has comic book quality to it that you don't see any more!
