Title: Better than the usual modern-day thriller
Review: Black Out is getting a lot of heat for being too slow, and not gory enough... I applauded it's character development and suspenseful pacing. The visuals and direction were good, except for a few gimmicky sped-up pans and edits pilfered from the SAW series. Amber Tamblyn is excellent, as is her young male co-star... only the killer falls short in the acting dept, amazing considering it is such a crucial part, and a plum role for the right actor! Nontheless, he isn't bad enough to ruin the movie.If you want mindless action, gore and violence, skip this... if you want suspense and a strong female lead, check it out.
