If you loved Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, try D.A.R.Y.L.
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Simon Wincer, and they sit in Action territory. If that's the register that drew you to Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What D.A.R.Y.L. is
Here's a film that asks: what if Short Circuit was also a bit like E.T.? A boy with special abilities lives a normal life until the scientists who made him want him back. It's all very 1980s, including the acronym-based title.
