I don't know if I would say that Darkman is a silly movie per se, but it is a pretty gonzo action flick (so basically, Sam Raimi at his best). Yet amidst all of the melting masks and carnie finger breaking shenanigans, there's a particular scene that stands out as being more "real" than the rest of the film. When the scene occurs, Peyton Westlake has largely been obsessed with two things: revenge against those who barbecued his laboratory and destroyed his life, and getting his mask formula to extend beyond 99 minutes without decomposing. While working on the latter, his hand accidentally catches fire from a Bunsen burner. Westlake, who has had extensive nerve damage, finally confronts the scope of his losses in a fairly devastating little bit of acting by the great Liam Neeson. "They took my hands..."
