Review of Black Book (2006) by Dave N — 16 Jan 2011
Whilst the central premise of exploring some of the ethics outside of.
The traditional WWII "goodies and baddies" is one that ought to be.
Interesting, there isn't a single moment in this film that really feels.
Like a moral dilemma for any of the characters, due to the lack of any.
Emotion or character development. Despite the 2 1/2 hour length, the.
Plot is too fast-paced and feels more like a Hollywood action film.
Events that should be upsetting - such as the murder of the main.
Protagonist's family - are dealt with in a matter-of-fact manner,.
Quickly moving onto the next scene without thought.
Others end up looking ridiculous, with over-the-top efforts to throw in.
Some sort of "twist". This is particularly true for the climax of the.
Film which sees a sad and compelling situation of misunderstanding.
Descend into farce.
"Black Book" is a very shallow and disappointing film which fails to.
Make the emotional impact that the likes of "The Pianist" or.
"Schindler's List" do.
