It was, as I said, around 15 years ago (and I haven't seen either one since then), so the details on why I thought that are rather fuzzy. It was strong enough that it's still the first thing I think of when seeing a statement akin to the one in the article.
A handful of points from comparing the Wikipedia plots and how I may have linked them together:
* Guided by the Doctor / Morpheus (or Trinity?) remotely (phone/computer prompts)
* Pursued by seemingly-supernatural Strangers / Agents (with subnote of how the Matrix alters the world in the Agents favor, and how the Strangers do the same directly themselves)
* Persistent feeling of the world being "wrong" somehow
* Getting their powers (vague memory: I think Murdoch used his powers more like how the humans did in The Matrix, than how the Strangers used them in Dark City)
