Dark City (1950)
7/10
classic film noir
3 August 2016
Dark city is classic film noir with legendary Charlton Heston, this was his first movie so I would say that maybe he was a little stiff in his film debut but sure he gave a decent performance. I also think that Jack Webb was great in this movie, at some parts like he was more self-confident and convincing then other actors. One of the problems is that I expected more scary scenes with Mike Mazurki, it could been a much more tense and mysterious if the director was more focus on imaginative writers for the scenes of the movie, also music that is Lizabeth Scott singing too often prevent to convince the audience that there is a tense situation in the lives of the main characters. Danny Haley character played by Heston I think was more like a depressed man then a hustler. I also can't understand why people feel sorry for Arthur Winant? he was a gambler who lost the money that were not his, he also had a wife and child and he was still flirting with Fran Garland Denny's girlfriend, also Arthur was so proud that his older brother Sidney was a bully. People like Arthur Winant get what the are asking for so you can't blame same hustlers for cunning people like him. I give 7 out of 10. Worth watching for sure.
