ARKMAN- (Odeon) With

Darkman, starring Liam Neeson = fost wit
(The Good Mother), Larry Drake  j,
(L.A. Law) and Frances McDormand _ thei
(Mississippi Burning). But don't
think for aninstant that major studio ‘I
backing is going to dull Raimi’s over-
the-edge touch or soften the 4;
sledgehammer delirium that has his _

more accessible to a
