Darkman is Sam Raimi's first superhero film, way before he became the director of the Spider-Man series.



Darkman is the story of Peyton Westlake, (Liam Neeson) a scientist on the verge of creating artificial skin, useful for burn victims and so forth. Through a nice series of coincidences, a crimelord, Durant ends up searching the lab where he works, looking for an incriminating memo for a businessman, played by Colin Friels.



Westlakes lab is blown up by the Durant organisation, leaving him for dead. (Actually, hes blown into a river, found, treated for burns on 98% of his body with a new procedure that stops him feeling pain, creates adrenaline surges that give him strength but also subjects him to uncontrollable rages)



Westlake decides that he will use his ability to make skin to create masks to (a) disguise his disfigurement and (b) allow him to gain revenge on Durant.



What follows is a pretty simple revenge on the bad guy plot, but Darkman makes it fun, especially with the sequence that has Darkman hanging from a cable from a flying helicopter. these scenes seem to be where Raimi worked out how to film the Spider-Man swinging sequences.





Great B grade action/superhero film, and because its a Raimi film, you get to spot Raimi's two continual stars. Bruce Campbell and a 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88.
