Our pick for tonight is this movie starring Liam Neeson as Peyton Westlake, a brilliant scientist burned alive and left for dead by a ruthless mobster. After a treatment to cure him of his injuries fails, Westlake develops super-human abilities which he uses, along with his scientific knowledge, to seek revenge.The first Hollywood studio film from director Sam Raimi , Darkman came about after he could not secure the rights to a movie version of The Shadow.
Released in 1990, the end project stands up as one of the best and coolest superhero movies of all time thanks to Neeson's brilliantly tragic performance, the incredible special effects, Raimi's stylishly zippy direction and a breezy 96-minute runtime. The movie is also quite fun to rewatch knowing that Raimi will go on to change superhero movies forever with 2002's Spider-Man, for which Darkman feels like an early dry run for the filmmaker.A completely forgettable sequel to a classic.Clint Eastwood stars in one of the best prison movies of all time.Eastwood again, this time directing and starring in this pretty good crime drama about a 90-year-old who becomes a drug mule. Somehow it is based on true events.
Matt Damon plays an astronaut who struggles to survive after being left stranded on Mars while his NASA colleagues back on Earth try to save him in this very fun Ridley Scott sci-fi.
