Black Box - Gefährliche Wahrheit

Greetings from Lithuania.

I really enjoyed "Black Box" (2021) for its being a good mystery thriller. The premise was solid as well as storytelling. It worked as a good mystery story, and i liked the ending and revelation.

Acting was solid especially by a lead man. Directing and especially editing was on spot because storytelling was pretty fast paced and intense considering that this movie at its run time 2 h 5 min. Is basically a drama - there isn't really any action in here. And at those 2 h and 5 min i was really involved and engaged in a story until the very end.

Overall, "Black Box" is a solid mystery, detective drama with a bit of a unique premise - set in a aviation world. Recommended.

I am not surprised that this movie does not get the recognition it deserves. They don't make movies like this anymore. Nowadays, a movie like BLACK BOX may be considered as boring.

This modern perception does not change the fact that this is a good movie. A political drama-thriller that deserves a greater audience. It will not get it because the majority of the people are cynical and apathetic.

Still, there are a lot of people who will enjoy it. It is not one of the best movies in this genre, but that doesn't say much. It remains as a breathe of fresh air in modern movies industry.

I was very lucky to watch this movie during the French Film Festival in Perth, Australia.

Intense from the begining to the end with interesting twists. I did not see the time pass by. Plot was fascinating and also scary - Most people are afraid of plane crashes and is a delicate subject to treat which has been brilliantly handled in this movie.

Pierre Niney also performing really well in this role.

Great fresh piece of French cinema.

A solid and tense paranoid thriller like 'back in the day' with parallax view and 3 days of the condor.

Manages to remain gripping for most of its run time.

A perfect example of what a thriller movie should be. Suspense and intrigue in almost every scene. Neat!

As a pilot myself(PPL), I can appreciate the plot very much. Despite a few plot wholes, the story gives you quite a realistic perspective of aviation industry's dark side. Well, the first two thirds of it at least. Yeah, for some reason they decided to add a second "twist" and thus they made the movie, that could have claimed "inspired by true events"(check out Netflix documentary about Boeing 737MAX), way less plausible and truthful.

In conclusion a pretty good thriller with realistic aviation details(mostly) and overly complicated ending.
