Darkman / Человек тьмы (Сэм Рэйми, 1990) - MVO

Darkman is a 1990 American superhero film directed and co-written by Sam Raimi. It is based on a short story Raimi wrote that paid homage to Universal’s horror films of the 1930s. The film stars Liam Neeson as Peyton Westlake, a scientist who is attacked and left for dead by a ruthless mobster, Robert Durant (Larry Drake), after his girlfriend, an attorney (Frances McDormand), runs afoul of a corrupt developer (Colin Friels). Darkman was generally well received by critics and performed well at the box office. This financial success spawned two direct-to-video sequels, as well as comic books, video games, and action figures. Over the years, Darkman has become regarded as a cult film.
