What did I just witness? In fact, hold on... 9-1-1, I would like to report a crime. Yes, it is a cinematic crime. You can find the suspects easily by looking up "BlackMale" on IMDb.com. They should be easy to find because none of their careers have taken them anywhere. I just stopped on this movie during a late night channel surf, and it seemed interesting enough. A guy being entrapped by a beautiful young lady; I just wanted to see where it was headed. I later found out that it was headed towards the pits.Well, the title is silly enough to suggest that the movie in turn wouldn't be any good. Although it had some credible actors in it. Bokeem Woodbine is no stranger, and I certainly remember Roger Rees from "Cheers", but this movie just stunk like nobody's business. The plot and events just kept getting more and more absurd up until the utterly ridiculous ending. Somebody was definitely blackmailed here. I think the actors were blackmailed into being in this movie, but being that it is an indie film, there was no distributor blackmailed into helping produce this junk.

I fell in love with this film.Two men with vision set sail to expose the wretched underbelly of mans struggle against societies vices.This is not a love story. It is a tale carefully woven through the murky dark shadows of an underworld not known to you,me or my granny.My senses were pleasured with subtle nuances and textures that caused me to dab my moistened brow..... twice. Gee, I found myself saying over and over again. All the while I began to think, heck ,is my vocabulary really limited to the word gee. The non stop action grips one by the by the fleshy part of the earlobe and tugs you along on the ride of your life! Life is short and now your earlobe is disfigured. Enjoy a great movie

*Coughs*"Blackmail" has driven me to break my IMDb duck. I am usually in broad agreement with the overall scores, if not the individual reviews of the members of this august body. But it has to said folks. An average score of 4.1 is just wrong, Wrong, WRONG.I was not looking forward to watching this - the cover text was a deterrent and, as others have said, after 5 minutes my finger was hovering over the stop button.Then I got it - it's all tongue in cheek - a challenge to see how many cliches can be stretched to the furthest (inc goriest & sickest) possible extent and crammed into 86 minutes, overlaid with thick dollop (sorry to be technical!) of black humour. It's the obvious thing to do with a low budget movie, and it works wonderfully. I squirmed at the gore, and laughed as each cliche approached and was played out with hilarious familiarity. It even has a fabled "boot shot". I hope the cast had an absolute riot making it.If you're into very black comedy, take out your brain and watch this.A 7 for setting its stall out and executing it (geddit!) in a far classier manner than it suggests on the tin.And you'll never look at a briar pipe the same again. Guaranteed.

This is a genius film. The Baluzy brothers rival the Coens in this fast paced, intellegent thriller. Each twist and turn will shock you, and it even throws in a little black comedy in the mix. A must see. Rent it, or buy it, it could easily be on the top 250.
