Darkman Moody Gothic noir

Plot A scientist is beaten up and left for dead inside his burning lab by gangsters. He survives, and doctors remove his ability to feel the constant pain he suffers. He then uses the synthetic skin he's been working on to cover his wounds, and seek revenge on those who killed him - but can he ever recover his life? Verdict Certainly not Raimi at his best, but some knowing genre nods and an array of great effects make up much of the deficit.
