Darkman

Neglecting Julie (Frances McDormand), his lawyer lady friend, Dr. Peyton Westlake (Liam Neeson) works feverishly to perfect his latest invention -- artificial skin that could be used to treat burn victims. Peyton himself falls victim to an explosion when one of Julie's crooked clients sends his henchmen to sniff out an incriminating document that's been left in Westlake's lab. Hideously disfigured and left for dead, the good doctor receives an experimental medical treatment that renders him super-strong, impervious to pain and prone to heightened fits of rage. Rebuilding his lab into an underground hideout, Westlake begins using his synthetic skin to impersonate various characters and engineer his revenge against those who destroyed his life. Reconnecting with Julie, however, becomes the unsightly vigilante's biggest challenge.~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

Top 10 Anti-superheroes
- 26 Aug 2010
The wait is finally over. Zack Snyder’s vision of the comic book they said could never be filmed, Watchmen, makes its way onto DVD this week.

Covered from head to toe in an assortment of lycra, sometimes with a side kick in tow, the superhero is synonymous with its superhuman abilities, used to... Read more
