Review of Out in the Dark (2012) by Daniel M — 12 Jan 2014
Watched this film last night and really enjoyed it up until the end. It's a very realistic portrayel of life in Israel/Palestine, with a very romantic love story. I didn't enjoy the ending. I'll explain why (spoilers!).
Roy didn't need to pretend to be Nimer so the cops would chase him, they were on his tail as "Roy" anyway. And he didn't need to tell the head of the secret service that he'd send Nimer on a boat to France (thereby incriminating himself).
It wasn't realistic. I felt that the tragic ending could have been avoided, but independent film makers rarely want a happy ending. However, I'm giving it four stars because it's a very well made film.
