Black Beach

This movie deserves WAY MORE than a 5/10. It clearly points out how worthless african lives are, to corrupt politicians and unscrupulous multinationals. I wish we had more movies of this kind !!!

I reckon there is a literal black beach (so obviously no pun intended with the title), but there is more to the movie than a landscape ... a location if you will. I reckon the beach can stand for something - the title can give you a clue of the darkness of fate and the struggle to do the right thing.

On the other hand you can also argue that that would be reading too much into it. And you probably would be right with that. The acting is good, the script is or rather seems tight. Still I can't help but feel that there could have been more ... I can't put my finger on it (and I rather wouldn't want to do that anyway, no pun intended) ... but there seems to be some untapped source here ... again no pun intended.

Still the movie has tension and it holds up from start to finish. Even if you feel that certain decisions may not be the wisest ... life is live as they say (they do say that, right?)

Good grief this is dull. 40 mins in, it's just full of uninteresting characters and over explaining dialogue about lots of other characters who we haven't met so it doesn't make sense. Classed as 'action and adventure'.....I've seen more action in the Antiques Roadshow.

Well done, good mix of action, good plot twists, characters have some depth, worth watching

Confusing plot, mixed with unexciting action. Concept could have been interesting (hence why I'm rating 4 star) but it's poorly developed, with a lot of missed opportunities.
