Film Review: Darkman 3: Die Darkman Die

You can never keep a Darkman down as Peyton Westlake (Arnold Vosloo) returns to vanquish evil in DARKMAN III: DIE DARKMAN DIE. Continuing from where the previous film left off, Westlake is still trying to find a permanent synthetic skin but this time he thinks he may be on to something when Dr. Bridget Thorne (Darlanne Fluegel) agrees to help him. Unbeknownst to Westlake, Thorne uses his blood samples to cultivate a synthetic steroid for drug lord Peter Rooker (Jeff Fahey) who wants to populate his followers into carbon copies of Darkman with his strength and agility. Things get more complicated for Westlake when he befriends Rooker’s wife and daughter who are caught in the middle of Rooker’s obsession.

This film is a vast improvement over the previous film in that actor Vosloo is given more to work with in the screenplay by Michael Colleary and Mike Werb. In this film there is more of a personal objective to Westlake with his feelings over Rooker’s wife and daughter, which creates a more rounded character that was absent from the previous film.
Fahey is nothing more than a carbon copy Larry Drake, only Drake has the charisma to help rather than harm the film.

The film’s weakest link is in the villain of Rooker, whom doesn’t provide the “chops” of Drake’s Durant. Rooker does provide the sexual tension in the film (through his affair with Dr. Thorne) but this does not make up for the character’s lack of being a formidable foe for Darkman. This is rectified by the presence of Rooker’s steroid experiments, which provide Darkman with some good action sequences at the end and wraps up the franchise nice and well.

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.
