This fantastical pastiche of film noir is a five-course banquet for cinephiles.
Rufus Sewell plays an amnesiac who, after waking up near a murdered prostitute, discovers a name (John Murdoch), a wife (Jennifer Connelly) and reality-altering powers. But further mysteries present themselves. Why is it always night in this dank, sepia-toned city? Who are the bald-headed men who can knock people out simply by saying “sleep”? And why can no one remember the route out?
