Darklight (2004)
Fun movie w/brains & a strong woman
I really enjoyed this movie. I caught it last Saturday on sci fi and wasn't expecting something like this -- it actually had a message (spiritual renewal). Even though it was obviously done on a small budget, I thought the graphics for the demon were good and hold up well against other sci fi channel shows.
It's a fun update on a biblical story (I wasn't really familiar with Lilith before), and I particularly liked seeing Shiri Appleby as a tough character showing a lot of strength, both mental and physical. I liked that this small woman has to save the world.
And Richard Burgi is one handsome man. These two had nice chemistry as they have to work together. I thought Burgi played the stoic, tough guy well and added real dimension to the role.
The movie felt like it was attempting to be a comic book come to life (is it based on one?), and compared to terrible movies like Daredevil, I think pulled it off nicely. All in all, I had a good time.
