![]() I could think of a few other actors who could have gave a much better performance but he was generally good. Rufus Sewell gives a good performance as John Murdoch, though i could'nt help feeling he was holding back somewhat. The special effects in Dark City are stunning and realistic, especially when certain characters use "tuning". The tall buildings and the knowledge that the strangers could be anywhere in the city gives a menacing ambiance, heightening the tension in the movie and giving off a great effect on the viewer. The movie is set in a 1940ish looking city where detectives are hunting John, along with the mysterious strangers. Thats the most i can tell without giving away major plot points. ![]() They soon discover that john also has this ability, which is impossible as it would take a normal human a few lifetimes to gain the ability to "tune". There is a group called the strangers who have an ability to physically change surroundings of them and the people living in the city, they call this ability "tuning". What follows is john trying to piece together what is happening to him and what he unravels is one of the greatest science fiction stories ever put to film. In the next room he finds a dead body and a blood stained knife. John Mudoch (Rufus Sewell) awakes in a bathtub completely naked, with blood dripping down his forehead, unaware of what is happening, he remembers nothing.
