Dark City
Dark City
Alex Proyas' dystopic sci-fi noir centres on a city run by a group of creepy beings called 'The Strangers'.

Rufus Sewell plays John Murdoch, a man who wakes up in a strange hotel with amnesia and discovers that he's wanted for a series of brutal murders he has no memory of committing.

Not unlike Blade Runner, Dark City is a triumph of production design and imagination, a dark fantasy blended with typical film noir genre tropes like hard-boiled detectives, Machiavellian plotters and a conflicted hero with a shadowy past.
