Scientist Peyton Westlake is working on a project to create synthetic skin. Now the skin he has developed has a flaw–it will not remain stable for more than 99 minutes. His girlfriend, Julie, a lawyer is investigating a developer. She leaves some incriminating documents at Peyton's. One night Peyton was working when the lights in his lab went out, he then discovers that the synthetic skin has remained stable past 99 minutes, he deduces that it's because of light that the skin doesn't remain stable. And it is at that moment that a psychotic criminal, Robert Durant appears demanding the documents that Julie left there. They beat up Peyton, and after finding the documents they blow up Peyton's lab. Peyton was blown away and everybody believes he is dead but in reality, he was found, burned seriously and a new procedure was performed on him that renders him unable to sense pain, he also now has tremendous strength and is now prone to violent outbursts. He is now working on perfecting the synthetic skin and at the same using his technology to make synthetic skin masks of the men who attacked him so that he could strike back at them.
A brilliant scientist left for dead returns to exact revenge on the people who burned him alive.
Sam Raimi&#39;s &quot;Darkman&quot; showcased Liam Neeson at his best as Peyton Westlake, a.k.a. Darkman. Westlake is in the process of developing a liquid skin that he can use to help replaced damaged skin. The problem that he runs into is that it only last a period of 99 minutes. His girlfriend Julie Hastings (Frances McDormand)is a lawyer who stumbles onto an incriminating document that can expose some crooked goings on in a development deal. Soon, Westlake gets a visit from Robert Durant (Larry Drake)and his crew (One crew member has a machine gun leg!), who wants the document and tries to turn Westlake into a human BBQ rib.<br/><br/>As any film fan will tell you, you have to make 100% sure that you finish the job.<br/><br/>Westlake ends up in a burn unit completely wrapped up like a mummy. Seems that the burns are so incredibly severe that the medical team use a process in which the nerves are cut so that the patient won&#39;t feel the pain. It also causes his emotions to get totally out of control, giving him a lot of strength. As he is trying to perfect the skin, his rage soon becomes directed at Durant and his gang. Using the skin, he sets out to ruin Durant and trying to reunite with Julie.<br/><br/>Part &quot;The Phantom Of The Opera,&quot; part &quot;The Shadow,&quot; Raimi (with the musical help of Danny Elfman)takes the viewer on a dizzying roller-coaster ride. There&#39;s lots of explosions and chases (Including one in the air courtesy of a helicopter). Many of the techniques used in the film can be seen in his future films, such as &quot;Spiderman.&quot;
In this day and age, when Sam Raimi is best known for a certain trilogy in which a sarcastic everyman battles evil spirits (going so far as to tell &quot;primitive screw-heads&quot; about his &quot;boom-stick&quot; in another movie with &quot;dark&quot; in the title) and the &quot;Spider-Man&quot; movies, we almost seem to have forgotten &quot;Darkman&quot;. In a way, it seems like another superhero story, but Raimi always has some neat ideas. In this case, scientist Peyton Westlake (Liam Neeson) is blown up by some gangsters, but survives and seeks revenge by wearing fake skin and masquerading as different people.<br/><br/>I wouldn&#39;t say that this is Raimi&#39;s best movie, but it&#39;s a neat idea. The part about the fake skin only lasting a certain period gave it a neat touch. As for the rest of the cast, Frances McDormand plays his hubby. A pretty interesting idea.
The film works because Raimi's motor-rhythmed pop sensibility was ready to take off in this movie, and does, in a series of wonderfully hyperkinetic comic-strip lurches. [24 Aug. 1990, p.34]
According to Bruce himself at a UK convention in March 2008, he was never down for the role. He did confirm however that he supplied much of the voice work. The European DVD has a small cut due to it being distributed in the UK, where the BBFC used to have a problem with the depiction of certain Asian weapons in movies. It is hard to say. There is a shot that establishes where the line is and shows that Westlake is already standing very close to it when he gets there, so it is possible that he crossed it on the last throw when he knocked the bottles down and not realized it. If Westlake was paying attention, the fact that he is so certain that he did not cross the line would set the interpretation that the guy at the stand really was trying to cheat him. While both interpretations involve the aspect of his inability to control his temper making Westlake/Darkman more unpredictable, dangerous and susceptible to violence; only the one in which the guy actually cheated Westlake would involve him getting what he deserves when Westlake beats him up. Bottom line, if you want to believe that the scene&#39;s only purpose was to put further focus on Westlake&#39;s growing instability, then he did cross the line (though either way, the underlying meaning is there). But if you want to believe that the guy was being an unfair jerk, you&#39;ll say Westlake was behind the line.
