Boîte noire

A successful French film that uses suspense, action and suspense very well. I watched with great curiosity and tension until the end, especially the voices and sounds heard from the black box and the silence following these noises made me very nervous. I didn't expect the movie to be that good.

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.

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.

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.

At least PARALLAX VIEW or ALL PRESIDENTS MEN have certainly inspired this kind of atmosphere, so rare in the French film industry. Or THE CONVERSATION, directed by Francis Coppola. This is a tremendous film, as LE CHANT DU LOUP was too; daring, powerfully directed, accurate, very well documented, a story about suspicion, plot, paranoia, conspiracy, disturbing by the way, but riveting. Excellent ending.
