6/10. In Charleton Heston's first screen role he plays one of three grifters who dupe an out-of-towner out of his every penny in a poker game. The out-of-towner hangs himself and his psychopathic brother hunts down Heston and crew seeking vengeance.
Dark City was your run of the mill 50's film noir. It's most notable in my opinion for introducing us to a very young Charleton Heston. Heston really stands out in this film, with his stilted acting and intense demeanor that won him more starring roles. There were other notables including Dragnet's Jack Webb as a baddie, and M.A.S.H.'s Harry Morgan as a punchy sidekick.
Not as memorable, or dark, as most film niors, but it was entertaining nonetheless.
