Caja Negra

A solid and tense paranoid thriller like 'back in the day' with parallax view and 3 days of the condor.

Manages to remain gripping for most of its run time.

I am not surprised that this movie does not get the recognition it deserves. They don't make movies like this anymore. Nowadays, a movie like BLACK BOX may be considered as boring.

This modern perception does not change the fact that this is a good movie. A political drama-thriller that deserves a greater audience. It will not get it because the majority of the people are cynical and apathetic.

Still, there are a lot of people who will enjoy it. It is not one of the best movies in this genre, but that doesn't say much. It remains as a breathe of fresh air in modern movies industry.

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.

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.

That's how the saying goes, right? And why wouldn't it - on the other hand, does it specify which truth and who it does set free? Those are important details - especially when it comes to a thriller and truth finding that may not be in the interest for some people.

Intense and very well told, this has great actors and great twists and turns to boast about. It will take you on a ride and go in different directions with you. Interesting choice in the end - whatever you may think of it. Overall I liked it - light but yet still full of surprises and heaviness of sorts.
