Solid independent movie on a $200,000 budget ! Wow ! Hollywood needs a lesson on huge multi million dollar budget movies that don't compare and often are duds. Blackout has great camera work and black and white composition ! Sets, scenes and costumes hit the mark too !! Wow, and again on a $200,000 budget. Most acting is really good but not great - the acting doesn't detract from the movie as a whole and would recommend this movie to anyone ! With more movies like this - Hollywood beware !!
