Title: Wasted potential
Product review: This sci-fi noir thriller has some yawning gaps in its plot, and the sets, though interesting, can't make up for the paucity of material. A friend who knew of my appreciation for "Blade Runner" recommended "Dark City" to me. I don't base this review on Ridley Scott's film (which has its own flaws and contradictions), but on its own the movie feels flat. It belongs more to the world of "Dick Tracy" than "Blade Runner" or "Metropolis". Actors like Keifer Sutherland, Ian Richardson and William Hurt are wasted in this half-hearted effort.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
