Review of Black Book (2006) by Andreszambrano — 28 Apr 2007
An official selection at this year's Film Comment Selects, Paul Verhoeven's Black Book can be classified, as Noel Murray of The Onion says, as one of the most fun movies ever made about how people basically suck.
An excuse for good film making this is not: while the premise of Verhoeven's film is a well crafted an enticing one, it does not repay for the serious narrative deficiencies, especially when such a plot eschews and tries to balance morality with thrills.
