That was an excellent one.
Thanks for the memories!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
The all predictable three unarmed, untrained girls take on, after initiating and starting trouble, 3 trained, armed army vets and naturally are able to beat them. Could of told you that 15 minutes into the movie. I suppose the "tittie" shots are supposed to help the male viewers. What a waste of film and effort. Missed Family Guy for this crap that I finally opted out on before ending. Trash.
It's about the bad boys and the good girls *surprise*. Yes, it's all black and white here. Was hoping to watch something fun about adventurous women, but this rather makes me ashamed of being female. Why is it that in every movie women have to be plain stupid? My advice to you is don't waste your time... move on.
"Black Rock" is a forgettable, derivative and largely insignificant little piece of survival horror/thriller, but it's not entirely hopeless and definitely better than most of my fellow reviewers around here claim it to be. Some of the things I read were undeservedly harsh and overly mean, especially taken into consideration that the film is never boring and contains at least a few good aspects (like adequate performances and one or two surprise twists). The basic plot is formulaic as can be, with a trio of girlfriends heading out to the island where they spent their childhood vacations together. But the times and their lives have changed tremendously, since Sarah – the blonde – attempts to resuscitate the friendship between Abby and Lou, as Lou slept with Abby's fiancée a few years ago. They run into three much younger hunters on the island, and Abby desperately feels the need to prove that she can still seduce boys. The evening ends with attempted rape and the accidental death of one of the hunters, but the remaining two want vengeance. "Black Rock" is the love-child of married couple Mark Duplass and Katie Aselton. He wrote and produced the film, while she directs and depicts one of the lead characters. Isn't that romantic? The good news is that the female characters are identifiable and realistic. They're whiny and pretty insufferable most of the time, but at least they aren't your everyday slasher stereotypes. The hunters are supposedly former Iraq soldiers, dishonorably discharged atop, but don't expect them to be mentally disturbing psychos like the Vietnam veterans in exploitation movies from the 70's. They're rather dull and spineless weaklings that can't even ambush a couple of quarreling city chicks. The film doesn't make optimal use of its remote island location and the violence is disappointingly tame. On the other hand I have to admit that, contrary to other films of its type, the deaths come as a surprise and the final shot is marvelously atmospheric.
Why is Kate Bosworth in this film? Does the writer have embarrassing pictures of her that he threatened to make public? I know she isn't the biggest of Hollywood starlets, but she's about a million times better than the dross you have here.Three women who absolutely despise each other go on another camping trip to a secluded island. In a rare moment when they are screaming abuse at each other, they meet three soldiers who are there for the hunting. One woman gets drunk and seduces a soldier, only to change her mind half way through the 'act.' He gets cross, so she kills him, meaning the remaining two soldiers decide to hunt down and murder the remaining three girls.So, can three women survive and overpower two well-trained soldiers with guns? I'll give you a clue: this is a movie. Take a guess.Whereas the soldiers have their military training to fall back on, the women just sit in bushes before trying to sneak about the place while shouting loudly. Then, when they get in the water, they decide just to splash a lot rather than swim.I can't think of many films like this. There are only six cast-members and you might think that what the producers save on cast wages they could put towards a decent story or effects. However, this has neither. It comes across as something a poor film student would make. The 'fight scenes' look like that sketch in Monty Python where six old ladies mud wrestle. Seriously, it's that bad.If you want hunting in the jungle, there's a little-known film called 'Predator' starring one Arnold Schwarzenegger. Check it out if you haven't seen it. If you have, just watch it again - it's in a different universe of film-making to this.Kate, why?
