a5c7b9f00b Scientist Peyton Westlake is working on a project to create synthetic skin. Now the skin he has developed has a flaw–it will not remain stable for more than 99 minutes. His girlfriend, Julie, a lawyer is investigating a developer. She leaves some incriminating documents at Peyton's. One night Peyton was working when the lights in his lab went out, he then discovers that the synthetic skin has remained stable past 99 minutes, he deduces that it's because of light that the skin doesn't remain stable. And it is at that moment that a psychotic criminal, Robert Durant appears demanding the documents that Julie left there. They beat up Peyton, and after finding the documents they blow up Peyton's lab. Peyton was blown away and everybody believes he is dead but in reality, he was found, burned seriously and a new procedure was performed on him that renders him unable to sense pain, he also now has tremendous strength and is now prone to violent outbursts. He is now working on perfecting the synthetic skin and at the same using his technology to make synthetic skin masks of the men who attacked him so that he could strike back at them.
Peyton Westlake is a scientist who has discovered a way to produce synthetic skin. This could revolutionise skin grafting, except for one minor glitch; the synthetic skin degrades after 100 minutes of exposure to light. When gangsters attack Peyton, he is horrifically burnt, and assumed dead. In his quest for revenge, Peyton, aka the Darkman, is able to take on the appearance of anyone (using the synthetic skin,) but he only has 100 minutes per disguise.
This fantastic premise from the original story by horror director Sam Raimi is spoiled by poor presentation and what seems to be a real lack of cinema expertise. Director Raimi did not seem to know how to bring his original and frightening story (heaps of potential) to the screen. There is one great helicopter action sequence, but the rest of the action sequences are poorly choreographed.<br/><br/>The film took too long to build up, and we do not see enough of "Darkman" Liam Neeson in action. The movie really lacked 'realism' where it needed it most. So much promised, so little delivered. Also starred Aussie Colin Friels and the exceptionally talented Frances McDormand.<br/><br/>Saturday, February 2, 1991 - Greater Union Melbourne
Over the years, Sam Raimi's Darkman has become regardeda cult film. The film was a box-office hit & was a critical smashwell. and after watching 'Darkman', I am another fan in 'that' fan club.<br/><br/>'Darkman' is the darkest superhero flick ever made, but it's special. This superhero doesn't fly, he doesn't weigh more than ever before, but he can change faces. Raimi's direction & execution, both are satisfactory.<br/><br/>'Darkman' is about a Scientist who gets brutalized by a bunch of baddies, but returns'Darkman' and avenges revenge. There is not much meat in the story, it's quite mediocre, but the treatment is so interesting that you await to know what's going to happen next. Raimi who went on to make the cult classics 'The Spider Man Series' has always been a filmmaker to watch, and this 1990 flick proves that fact.<br/><br/>Performance-Wise: Liam Neeson suits the part to the T. The legendary actor is in terrific form. Frances McDormand is very good. In fact, this ranks amongst her better works. Larry Drake is superb. Colin Friels is effective. Others lend good support.<br/><br/>Move over of 'Batman', 'Superman', 'Spider Man' & 'Iron Man' for sometime, give 'Darkman' it's due. Must See!
What no plot summary of Darkman can provide is how much director Raimi ("The Evil Dead") brings to the party. In addition to giving us a conflicted hero - more disturbed than Batman - Raimi fills every action sequence and even routine plot scenes with fresh images that reflect his Darkman's rage.

According to Bruce himself at a UK convention in March 2008, he was never down for the role. He did confirm however that he supplied much of the voice work. The European DVD has a small cut due to it being distributed in the UK, where the BBFC used to have a problem with the depiction of certain Asian weapons in movies. It is hard to say. There is a shot that establishes where the line is and shows that Westlake is already standing very close to it when he gets there, so it is possible that he crossed it on the last throw when he knocked the bottles down and not realized it. If Westlake was paying attention, the fact that he is so certain that he did not cross the line would set the interpretation that the guy at the stand really was trying to cheat him. While both interpretations involve the aspect of his inability to control his temper making Westlake/Darkman more unpredictable, dangerous and susceptible to violence; only the one in which the guy actually cheated Westlake would involve him getting what he deserves when Westlake beats him up. Bottom line, if you want to believe that the scene's only purpose was to put further focus on Westlake's growing instability, then he did cross the line (though either way, the underlying meaning is there). But if you want to believe that the guy was being an unfair jerk, you'll say Westlake was behind the line.
