Dark City
#13 in my 2007 movie challenge was Dark City, another entry prompted by this list of Fifteen Geek Movies. Literally and figuratively very dark, Dark City is a precursor of The Matrix that examines some of the same themes of individuality, society, and choice. Where The Matrix had Keanu well cast as the none-too-bright Neo, Dark City has a badly coiffed Rufus Sewell, sporting what looks like 80’s rock-star hair. I did, though, appreciate Jennifer Connelly’s strong eyebrows. I found the fight scene at the end silly and overlong, but the film itself is definitely worthwhile.
