DARK CITY (1998 - R)

When he awakens in a strange hotel room, John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) soon finds he is wanted for a string of murders he has no memory of committing. Worse, he is menaced by a shadowy group of entities known as The Strangers, who can freeze time and alter physical reality. Gradually Murdoch starts to piece together his past life and unravel the mystery of the murders – all while The Strangers are closing in on him.

Rufus Sewell and Jennifer Connelly are compelling and sympathetic as a married couple with some serious problems. Shots of buildings morphing are terrific, thanks to Visual Effects Director Bruce Hunt. "Dark City" is bold and provocative, a refreshing change from the numerous "Alien" and "Star Wars" ripoffs.

The cast includes: Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly, Richard O' Brien, Ian Richardson, and William Hurt.

Directed by Alex Proyas.
