The Darkest Hour has a very enigmatic moniker; the title could be referring the the fact that this movie takes place in a Moscow that has been drained of all electricity following an alien attack. It could be referring to the fact that the events unfolding depict humanity鈥檚 most dire moment. Conversely Joey Votto FlexBase Jersey , it could be trading in on the old adage that it is always darkest before the dawn. In that way, more probably (and yet, most likely, less intentionally) the title could be referring to the actual first hour of this sci-fi action thriller. For what begins as a rote, uninspired journey filled with stock characters making bad decisions soon gives way to a bright Jose Iglesias FlexBase Jersey , beaming sun of inspired madness 鈥?a sun that might, oddly, save this film from becoming just another completely wasted opportunity.
We begin with two American entrepreneurs, friends since grade school, arriving in Moscow to pitch their new social networking service to a prominent tech company. Sean Scooter Gennett FlexBase Jersey , played with game nonchalance by Emile Hirsch, is a callow, devil-may-care kind of man, while his friend Ben, given more pathos than he deserves by Max Minghella Cool Base Yasiel Puig Jersey , is a tightly wound and ambitious businessman. When their deal falls through, Sean surmises that a trip to a nightclub to court some Russian models is exactly what they need. There, they meet fellow American Natalie (a par for the course Olivia Thirlby) and her Australian compatriot Anne, invested with stark ambiguity by Rachel Taylor. The group can barely get a drink down before disaster strikes. As the lights go out, the entirety of the bar crowd moves outside to see the night sky filled with a strange aurora. As ethereal lights descend and land on buildings and roads alike Cool Base Sonny Gray Jersey , a sense of cautious awe stirs among the throng of revelers. When a policeman is turned to dust by a now-invisible orb of power, chaos breaks out. From here the film turns into a fairly mediocre exercise in genre terror. The characters take any moments of safety they get as an opportunity to expound upon their lives and their pasts, while all of the action beats involve them screaming and running and hiding. There鈥檚 some tension to be wrung from these scenes, and director Chris Gorak (of the devilish thriller Right at Your Door) proves himself capable of staging and executing action scenes with ease. Still, the characters make stupid choices and find themselves in harm鈥檚 away again and again by dint of their poor decision making skills Cool Base Anthony DeSclafani Jersey , and in spite of their character exposition they never find a third dimension to inhabit. (Fitting, as the film is being show in thoroughly unspectacular 3D.)
