BlackMale

This is a rather hard to find (not on video)film that fits somewhere in the Tarantino-type tradition of wild plot twists, explicit violence and psycho characters who outdo each other in their insanity and malevolence. There's also quite a bit of sick humor. After the first couple of minutes, I was ready to dismiss Blackmale as another low-budget, perhaps made-for-cable thriller, but it does have some originality and humor that makes it a cut above the standard genre flick. Many of the characters are actually entertaining and funny, if you can appreciate such humor. Still, it's hardly a great film and ends up being mainly an exercise in mindless violence.

A tight little flick with lots of quirky details to keep you entertained. Story, of course, may seem a bit far-fetched, but that's the fun in movies like these. The cast performed their roles well, especially the actor who played the doctor. Very creepy!

This movie is just total fun. Don't kill yourself over the plot of story line. Just remember that this film is to entertain you and make you laugh. If you ask yourself how it is possible for the girl to have the money when she couldn't have possibly will only make you crazy. Forget about it. It's one of the all genre covered films that adds just a little bit of everything. Excellent acting by that British guy from Cheers. He plays the best psychopath since Joseph Cotten in Shadow of a Doubt. The brothers who directed this film could be the next Cohen Brothers....keep your eyes on them!

What did I just witness? In fact, hold on... 9-1-1, I would like to report a crime. Yes, it is a cinematic crime. You can find the suspects easily by looking up "BlackMale" on IMDb.com. They should be easy to find because none of their careers have taken them anywhere. I just stopped on this movie during a late night channel surf, and it seemed interesting enough. A guy being entrapped by a beautiful young lady; I just wanted to see where it was headed. I later found out that it was headed towards the pits.

Well, the title is silly enough to suggest that the movie in turn wouldn't be any good. Although it had some credible actors in it. Bokeem Woodbine is no stranger, and I certainly remember Roger Rees from "Cheers", but this movie just stunk like nobody's business. The plot and events just kept getting more and more absurd up until the utterly ridiculous ending. Somebody was definitely blackmailed here. I think the actors were blackmailed into being in this movie, but being that it is an indie film, there was no distributor blackmailed into helping produce this junk.

This is a must see film for people who enjoy "off the wall" thrillers. The movie filled with slightly predictable, but truly amazing plot twists. Every character is memorable in this maniac driven film. I think a sequel should be considered. Rest in Peace Justin Pierce.
