Title: "Dark City"
Released: 1998

Starring Kiefer Sutherland, Rufus Sewell, and William Hurt, "Dark City" is an absolutely breathtaking Sci-fi/Horror flick. John Murdoch is living a surreal, nightmarish existence in an urban landscape that never experiences sunlight. Memories of his life seem unreal and fabricated and he finds himself in the middle of a mystery in which he is a suspected murderer. Without giving too much away, "Dark City" is an example of a man trying to understand the strange forces that lurk just beneath the semblance of reality and work to actively shape the world's destiny. Released a year before "The Matrix", this one is by far the superior film. Even Roger Ebert called this the best film of 1998, and it just may be. Do yourself a favor and check this one out soon. A fantastic example of an original story brought to life with excellent visuals and decent acting.
