Neglecting Julie (Frances McDormand), his lawyer lady friend, Dr. Peyton Westlake (Liam Neeson) works feverishly to perfect his latest invention -- artificial skin that could be used to treat burn victims. Peyton himself falls victim to an explosion when one of Julie's crooked clients sends his henchmen to sniff out an incriminating document that's been left in Westlake's lab. Hideously disfigured and left for dead, the good doctor receives an experimental medical treatment that renders him super-strong, impervious to pain and prone to heightened fits of rage. Rebuilding his lab into an underground hideout, Westlake begins using his synthetic skin to impersonate various characters and engineer his revenge against those who destroyed his life. Reconnecting with Julie, however, becomes the unsightly vigilante's biggest challenge. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

    Disappointed in the quality of acting in this movie.

    Great movie, but the action could have been a little bit more scary.

    Yes   |   No

     
    Steven G.

    feels like a comic book or graphic novel. good, well-meaning scientist loses girl and gets hurt by mobsters. he finds a science to change his face and goes after them. interesting story, couple of good dialogue lines and some silly ones, too. liked the effects and the music. kind of reminded me of batman in that an innocent man is scarred by bad guys and dedicates his life to punishing them for their crime. but due to how he is scarred, he can never be normal again. this is a fun movie to watch, though a bit dark at times.

    Yes   |   No
