4.0 out of 5 stars“I'm everyone - and no-one. Everywhere - nowhere. Call me... Darkman.”
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 19 Jun. 2014
Format: Blu-ray
It’s perhaps fitting that Darkman was released in Universal’s 75th anniversary year since Sam Raimi’s film is a playful reworking of the studio’s mad scientist films of the 40s that throws in bits of the Mummy (the bandages) and the Phantom of the Opera (the cape and hat) into the hero’s unwanted makeover, with a bit of the Hulk’s anger management issues thrown into the mix. Liam Neeson’s the researcher working on synthetic skin (how Dr X would have approved) who finds himself needing the stuff when his lab is destroyed, his face disfigured and his nerves severed courtesy of self-congratulatory crooked property developer Colin Friels and gay gangster Larry Drake. The only problem is that his invention is highly unstable in daylight and only lasts 99 minutes and the surgery that kept him alive makes him prone to violent outburst when he doesn’t win pink elephants at fairgrounds. But it is particularly useful when he wants to sow confusion among his enemies and set them against each other…

The tone is somewhere between a real comic book feel and an old 40s movie serial with gothic horror overtones and the odd nod to Hitchcock, with fiendishly inventive and occasionally appropriately operatic direction. It keeps the violence just cartoonish enough for the outrageousness to feel entirely appropriate and the mix of sight gags and daring stunt work from jarring. And some of the stunt work is very impressive indeed - for my money the helicopter sequence is more impressive than anything in Raimi’s Spider-Man films because instead of CGi it’s very obviously a real person hanging hundreds of feet above the air and what seems like yards from a pursuing helicopter as they weave through skyscrapers and along the freeway.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsAn interesting and bleak '90s vigilante movie
By Benminx on 4 Aug. 2011
Format: DVD
While it's showing its age a little bit in a few areas, such as the 'gang-speak', slick villains and the style of the action, this is still a fascinating and fun vigilante movie. Written by schlock-master Chuck Pfarrer (Navy SEALs among others), the plot is determined to focus on character angst and lots of violence, and it's a fun ride. Sam Raimi directs it with a signature mix of slightly absurd humour and enthusiastic horror, as the hero scientist scarred in an apparent gangland attack tries to piece his life back together while plotting revenge.
Liam Neeson is decent as Westlake/Darkman, although his accent slips from American back to Irish many times. He gets to play several emotional extremes, from happy pre-attack Westlake, the emotionally unstable and rage prone scarred victim, and the nasty and revenge fixated Darkman. He pulls it off with aplomb, although Raimi allows him to go rather over the top into charicature in the 'rage' sequences, which isn't helped by a silly graphic showing neurons firing in his brain and his vision turning red every time he gets angry. However, his Darkman is an emotionally complex scarred monster (we really mean 'monster' - they've been brave enough to make him utterly hideous) who keenly feels the pain that society will reject his appearance, but is furiously determined to seek and kill those that did it to him.
Everybody else is just 'decent '90s action' in their acting style, but engaging enough to sweep the film along.
Kudos goes to the make-up effects, which make Darkman a memorable character and still stand up 20 years later.
The film also has some exciting chases, and a nervewracking climax.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsDarkman Blu-ray
By ante-hero on 7 Mar. 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Was nice to roll back the years watching this again and seeing a younger Liam Neeson in good form. This will work on UK Blu-ray players, so it is certainly worth importing rather than waiting for a UK release

5.0 out of 5 starsUnder-rated super-hero movie from the one and only Sam Raimi.
By Puzzle box on 28 Feb. 2015
Format: Blu-ray
Sam Raimi's "Darkman" released in 1990 is a highly entertaining and energetic combination of science fiction, action and horror! The performances are good, especially Liam Neeson, who is really believable as a disfigured doctor Peyton Westlake/Darkman. It's also nice to see an underrated Larry Drake("Dr Giggles"), who in my opinion almost steals the show as the main villian creep (Jimmy Durant) who has a finger fetish. It's remarkable how closely the film's plot mirrors that of any comic origin film, despite not being based on any existing hero - if it were a comic, you can imagine that its fans would (for once) have nothing to complain about. Like many a Marvel or DC hero before him, Peyton Westlake (Liam Neeson, at the time an unusual choice to lead an action movie) is a brilliant doctor who is on the verge of a huge medical breakthrough when he is seemingly killed by some nefarious types. He survives, but is horribly scarred/wounded, left with a superpower of sorts (he is impervious to pain), and unable to return to the life he once knew. He can, however, use his research (involving repairing skin) to devise the ultimate revenge plan - he can create realistic masks of his enemies' faces and turn them against each other.

But there's a catch! The masks only last for 99 minutes before melting, an issue he was unable to solve before his accident - he had only just discovered that they would survive past that point if kept in the dark.Read more ›
