Caja Negra

It is movie about big corporations, whistleblower, and air business. The cast is is amazing, scenario is twisted with unexpected turns, and it is very difficult to predict something. It is literally a gem for 2021-2022 and I think this movie is worth watching. Yes, it is Thriller and Detective with nice elements of Mystery but sadly with some realistic Drama. It has some, just a few clichés but it is okay because cast doing a very good job and scenario is unpredictable.

If you liked The Interpreter (2005), The International (2009), Headhunters (Hodejegerne) (2011), The Fifth Estate (2013), The Invisible Guest (Contratiempo) (2016), Mr. Robot (TV Show) (2015-2019), or Inside Job (documentary) (2010) then you will defiantly enjoy and like that movie.

P. S: It is more realistic than Snowden (2016) or Citizenfour (documentary) (2014) because you can see the real pressure in the atmosphere. Black Box (2021) is slowly but genuinely engulf viewer and making him or her experience the same pressure as main character. It is not about fake spies or conspiracy theories, it is purely about whistleblowers who are actually heroes.

A perfect example of what a thriller movie should be. Suspense and intrigue in almost every scene. Neat!

As a pilot myself(PPL), I can appreciate the plot very much. Despite a few plot wholes, the story gives you quite a realistic perspective of aviation industry's dark side. Well, the first two thirds of it at least. Yeah, for some reason they decided to add a second "twist" and thus they made the movie, that could have claimed "inspired by true events"(check out Netflix documentary about Boeing 737MAX), way less plausible and truthful.

In conclusion a pretty good thriller with realistic aviation details(mostly) and overly complicated ending.

Greetings from Lithuania.

I really enjoyed "Black Box" (2021) for its being a good mystery thriller. The premise was solid as well as storytelling. It worked as a good mystery story, and i liked the ending and revelation.

Acting was solid especially by a lead man. Directing and especially editing was on spot because storytelling was pretty fast paced and intense considering that this movie at its run time 2 h 5 min. Is basically a drama - there isn't really any action in here. And at those 2 h and 5 min i was really involved and engaged in a story until the very end.

Overall, "Black Box" is a solid mystery, detective drama with a bit of a unique premise - set in a aviation world. Recommended.

At least PARALLAX VIEW or ALL PRESIDENTS MEN have certainly inspired this kind of atmosphere, so rare in the French film industry. Or THE CONVERSATION, directed by Francis Coppola. This is a tremendous film, as LE CHANT DU LOUP was too; daring, powerfully directed, accurate, very well documented, a story about suspicion, plot, paranoia, conspiracy, disturbing by the way, but riveting. Excellent ending.

I was very lucky to watch this movie during the French Film Festival in Perth, Australia.

Intense from the begining to the end with interesting twists. I did not see the time pass by. Plot was fascinating and also scary - Most people are afraid of plane crashes and is a delicate subject to treat which has been brilliantly handled in this movie.

Pierre Niney also performing really well in this role.

Great fresh piece of French cinema.
