Film Review: Darkman 2: the Return of Durant

It’s been four years since Peyton Westlake (now played by Arnold Vosloo) became the Darkman of the city streets. A man who haunts the night stopping crime where ever it may be and using the funds gathered to further his research into creating a permanent synthetic skin that will one day return him to normal.

In the new film DARKMAN II: THE RETURN OF DURANT it is revealed that Robert Durant (Larry Drake) did not die in the previous film but that the accident put him into a coma in which he is just now awakening. Durant has new plans in taking over the city by creating high tech weapons that he can sell to anyone who has the money to pay. Realizing that his old nemesis is still alive, Westlake will stop at nothing to prevent Durant from gaining control of the city once again.

With a teleplay by Steven McKay (story by Robert Eisele and Lawrence Hertzog) due to the straight to DVD nature of the film it lacks the grandiose of the previous film and has less action sequences but the film is still better then many of the teleplays produced for television. If there is a fault in this film it is that it relies too much on what was established in the previous film and never sets out to do anything new on its own.

Although he is a very good actor Vosloo is not as charismatic as Liam Neeson and plays the character very bland although this could also be because of director Bradford May, who doesn’t bring the same style to the material as Raimi did.

Are You Living on Revolutionary Road- Don’t Settle Play Full Out

By: Tony Measles | 27/12/2009
The film Revolutionary Road, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet is a movie with a powerful message about the cost to your soul of settling for less than you know you can be. Everyone really is special, but most people allow themselves to be convinced that they are ordinary and don’t deserve to live an exceptional life. Don’t believe it. You deserve to live the life of your dreams.
