Review of The Blackout

The Blackout (2019)
4/10
Like a push up bra, looks great but nothing inside

Stunning visually in fairness, no complaints on that front but the dubbing is woeful, you'd swear whoever was doing it did it blind without seeing the context of what they were saying, at times they sound almost bored even when in the middle of a firefight etc...

The storyline is a bit of mess and opens up plot holes / requires leaps of faith that are stretching believability to breaking point.

It's about 30-45 mins too long, characters don't develop and the editing isn't great either...but the SFX are top notch which is a shame that they missed getting so much more of the film right.

The ending is laughable in fairness as well...

Usually hate the idea of Hollywood doing a remake of a foreign film but this feels like one that has scope for lots of improvements and could be a great film done right...
