Dark City
1998
John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) awakens in a hotel room to find he's wanted for a series of murders he doesn't remember committing. But then he encounters the Strangers, a group of ominous beings with a collective memory who can stop time and alter physical reality. John frantically begins repairing his memories -- including his love for his wife (Jennifer Connelly) -- all the while trying to avoid the Strangers's ominous underworld.

This film has some similarities to The Matrix, but really belongs in a category all its own.
A very stylish and well-thought-out sci-fi/noir movie. It's kind of like a full-length Twilight Zone episode, but less wacky. You could compare it to The Matrix or Inception, but you're better off just watching it on its own merits.
