Darkman

A stylish and thrilling blend of "Batman" and "Phantom of the Opera," courtesy of director/co-scripter Sam Raimi ("Evil Dead") follows the exploits of research scientist Dr. Peyton Westlake (Liam Neeson) after he's horribly disfigured when his lab is blown up by crooks. Armed with a special synthetic flesh that allows him to impersonate anyone, the newly crowned "Darkman" sets out on a crusade of vengeance. Frances McDormand, Colin Friels, and Larry Drake co-star. 96 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English, French; interviews; audio commentary; featurettes; storyboards; TV spots; theatrical trailer. Two-disc set.
