Review of Black Friday (2004) by Greg W — 04 Feb 2012

Black Friday could have been something truly special but I found it missed the mark on 3 levels. One - it stars Boris Karloff & Bela Lugosi but they never share any screen time together. Two - it has Karloff as a 'mad' scientist but here it doesn't play to that strength.

Mostly because it doesn't have him as the main character per say but it could have played up his obsessions making him a much more interesting character. Finally - this deals w/ a man who has had a brain transplant & has him w/ two personas but has two different actors play the role.

I would have much rather it have been one man give two distinct performances. Almost a Jekyll & Hyde. Aside of that it's alright for what it is.
