A scientist disfigured by a gang of sadistic criminals develops a mask-like second skin which allows him to change identities. Peyton Westlake, his face hidden behind bandages, is transformed into the Darkman, a lonely psycho who prowls the streets of Los Angeles by night. Disguised as different characters, the Darkman seeks out the men who ruined him and exacts brutal revenge. (texto oficial do distribuidor)

Com esta obra e os seus últimos filmes do Homem-Aranha, Sam Raimi documenta 10 anos de evolução técnica e intelectual dos filmes de banda desenhada. O dinamismo do enredo, o sofrimento existencial do personagem principal, o seu amor por A Mulher, a definição dos vilões, as muitas grandes ideias diretoras - todos eles permaneceram, o que mudou foi «apenas» o refinamento (digitalização) da execução técnica, a maior ênfase na lógica e continuidade na argumentação do ecrã, e a elevação do entretenimento puro ao entretenimento com uma dimensão verdadeiramente dramática.

A comic book film adaptation from the days the phrase “coming book film adaptation” carried well-deserved negative connotations.

When I saw Raimi's gory horror Evil Dead, I asked myself how the same man could have made Spider-Man. While watching Darkman, it finally dawned on me. I'd say Darkman is kind of a bridge between Raimi's zombie and comic book era. That's not to say that's true, but it seemed that way to me. I’ve heard people saying that Liam Neeson does not fit at all into the role of a disfigured hero seeking revenge for his mutilated body. Personally, I would say that's not true. That’s because not every hero has to be a muscular tough guy who delivers hard blows. Peyton is a smooth, likable guy. That is, until they burn his face off. The script is somewhat naive, but it has occasional gritty twists. Like the guy lying dead on a car, and a somewhat similar guy sitting next to him on a bench. If I were in the shoes of the woman who saw it, I don't think I'd understand either... :-) But Raimi can patch up even the worst script with his impeccable direction. Together with cinematographer Bill Pope, he makes action films of a really high standard that are still impressive fourteen years later. And when the action is complemented by Danny Elfman's music, there's really nothing more to discuss. I confess that if I didn't know that Sam Raimi directed the film, I probably wouldn't have watched it. And after watching it, I would have given it a below-average rating. But it's a Sam Raimi movie. And "Sam Raimi" is a concept that must be respected.
