Black Beach

While I found this international look into the African diaspora cinematically beautiful in its realistic portrayal of how things really are in this mythic African country,the reason for our heroes' trek to the motherland became lost in the director and producers determination to make this just another "kill everybody " movie. A lot of time was taken in dubbing to English with voices that bore no resemblance to the faces on the screen. It's a shame ; this tome about oil, dictators, racism, corporate intrigue,, and a Black child ending up in the care of a white Belgium family just doesn't work. Jack Ryan this character is not! And even then this movie would not end.

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

Dear Sir/Madam, Concha Campins appears as Producer, she was only Production Manager during a small part of shooting in Ghana, please make correction

5.2? That seems extradinarily low for an entertaining, tense and decent budget Netflix movie. Ok, the first half is slow, admittedly, but from then on you have a very exciting and tense thriller, up there with Hollywood production quality. The story is basic, as one might expect with a thriller, but the characters are decently acted and the script is enough to keep your attention, without any boring bits. I would give this a 7.5, but as halfs aren't allowed, I bumped it up to an 8. It is worth a watch.

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.
