DARKMAN opens. With script input from Chuck Pfarrer, Ivan Raimi, Daniel Goldin and Joshua Goldon, director Sam Raimi's kinetic, self-created, pre-Spiderman dive into the superhero universe features a surprisingly effective Liam Neeson as disfigured, left-for-dead scientist turned crime fighter out to avenge himself on the mob kingpin responsible for his near death. Co-starring Frances McDormand, Larry Drake and Colin FRiels.
