Black Rock Reviews

Movie Reviews

• you'll still be able to follow what's going on, though, because that big ending-which apes the sloppiness of real-life violence-is built upon beats you've seen in hundreds of movies before

  by Alan Scherstuhl [Village Voice ]

• the stunts, escapes and fights are grim and grisly, but generic. We've seen all this before

  by Roger Moore [Movie Nation ]

• the male characters here are too thinly developed for this to be a top-notch survival thriller, but Ms. Aselton knows how to get the pulse pounding

  by Neil Genzlinger [New York Times ]

• it isn't a parody. But it is kind of a mess

  by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]

• is unable to shock, much less convince

  by Rob Nelson [Variety ]

• "Black Rock" is as dingy and dirty as the genre thrillers it appears to want to one-up
