    Not A Masterpiece, But Well Made And Entertaining

    Don't believe the harsh reviews from people writing reviews in their mother's basements. This is a good, solid, well-crafted movie that's entertaining. To me, a movie is good and entertaining when I'm not wondering how much longer before it's over. Blackmark is like walking out of a fog - it starts a bit slow and is a little confusing, but as it goes along it builds momentum so by the end you're right there and caught up in the drama. And, like coming out of a fog, you see things clearer and clearer as the movie progresses. What makes that interesting is you want to watch it again - and it actually plays better the second time because you now understand and have context for the whole story. Most importantly, it's just as entertaining the second time around.

    Overcomplex, redundant, pretentious and forgettable flick...

    When a Hollywood production is going absolutely nowhere, you at least hope they get there fast, getting you out of your misery.... The story is a royal mess, going from one unclear spot to another which makes it impossible to find the viewing experience attractive. But the real showstopper here is the often rushed, awful acting which sucks the reality out of every scene before you even THINK of identifying with the characters! Just another waste of effort, capital and time....theirs....and ours! Advice; avoid when encountered, refuse to watch when invited or delete when accidentally downloaded...

    Enjoyable Cold War Thriller

    I liked this movie a lot. Very similar to Bridge of Spies, but with an (as of now) unknown cast. This is a movie you have to pay attention to, so don't try to multitask with it on in the background. Watch closely and try to figure out who's betraying whom.

    Jeff Hatch is fantastic in the title role of Arthur Blackmark, bringing a cool, Machiavellian dynamic to a period of history we THOUGHT we knew about. Kaiwi Lyman and Corey MacIntosh are adversaries turned allies as the threat of nuclear war becomes all too real. And newcomer Lana Gautier meticulously weaves a complex narrative as the resourceful and secretive Anya Popolovski. The many twists and turns will leave you wondering exactly who you're rooting for... and why. I highly recommend this flick!

    Why make an overwrought political movie based on the West's standoff against the Soviets?

    Boring conspiracies and decades outdated, I was there and hoped that I could find something in a Cold War thriller but this is overly dramatic nonsense with no real purpose or reason.

    Conspiracy - yeah!

    What's not to like about a movie about JFK? Everyone knows, just like the Manhattan Towers, that the truth has not been told; and when the truth is hidden fantasy abounds. Now fantasy is usually more fun than the truth, and whatever the truth about the JFK assassination this fantasy is interesting, intelligently constructed, even if at times a tad confusing, but certainly action packed. The characters are sketchy, but it is a short movie, and designed to be leave much to the imagination - filling out the characters would, imho, take from the "whaaat?" factor. The second viewing opened up new possibilities, and the third led to "Ah ha!" moments. Overall a good watch to fill an evening with other conspiracy theorists.
