Summary: Well Worth Checking Out!!!!!!!!
Review: I'll be honest. What got me watching this movie in the first place? Well, I was flipping channels and caught a quick glimpse of Jennifer Espinito, Just as if she were standing on the side of the highway hitchiking, and I slammed on the brakes to stop and pick her up, my channel surfing stopped dead right there!!!!
Not expecting a hell of alot from a movie she were starring in, I decided to check a bit of it out, since I was lucky enough to catch it right at the beginning of the movie.
To my pleasant surprise my interest was grabbed and held right from the start. The storyline seemed interesting enough, the acting very good, and it truly just kept getting better, and more interesting, and entertaining.
Robert patrick and Jennifer Espinito had great chemistery throughout the movie. Being a movie you've never heard of, you'd figure, or expect it to end up being a movie that gets to hard to believe. Though this movie seemed as if it were going to go that way, they could not have wrapped it up better.
as the credits begin rolling, you'll find yourself sitting there, eyebrows raised, and saying out loud "That was a really great movie!"
IT WAS! AND IT IS WELL WORTH CHECKING OUT!!!!

Summary: Good little Movie
Review: BlackFlash is a good movie when you are just bored and want to sit down and watch a flick. There is a lot of good twist and turns which are exectued really well.

What makes this movie is the performances from a very talented cast. Robert Patrick is the "hero" and does a great job with his character through out the film. Jennifer Espizito does a great job as the "Femme Fatale" of movie. This girl is so much more then another pretty face in Hollywood and I wish other directors will notice her talents very soon.

Melissa Joan Hart (TV's Sabrina) has a very small role in this movie which is a bummer. The very talented Hart is one of the best up and coming actress and once she gets out of that Sabrina TV show is going to be a face you see in many major films in the years to come. I did love her role was the mortition who uses her Crime Boss's dead enemies bodies to smuggle cash. Creative idea, but wouldn't be better if it was drugs or something? Why cash? Dogs can't smell cash. Dogs can smell drugs, but will police think twice if a dog goes a crazy on a dead body? Would they even check the body if it has drugs? Or will they think its just in the casket? Sorry my twisted little mind is wondering here.

I enjoyed this movie. That is all I can say about it. If you are expecting OSCAR stuff then don't bother. If you pass this movie up because you don't see any "Star" actors then its your mistake.

Summary: Cool old-fashioned B-flick.
Review: Gritty business. Very entertaining. Low Budget. No flashy stuff. Sexy leading lady, good character actors. Parched-out desert locales. Cryptic but effective script with plenty of good twists.

This is the kind of movie John Payne made when he switched from playing handsome singing A-leads to laconic tough guys back in the 1950s. Kansas City Confidential, for example. Later on Lance Hendricksen did a lot of good stuff like this. Maybe Robert Patrick is the new LH.

What more could you ask for.

Summary: Extremely slow... Utterly horrible movie
Review: I honestly can't believe that Robert Patrick wasted his time on this piece of [junk] movie. Ugh! One of the worst movies I've seen in quite a while.

Summary: No wonder I'm a big Robert Patrick fan.
Review: Ray Bennett(Robert Patrick) owns a video store and is tired of his job. Business is slow, life is slow. Deciding to take a few days off he picks up a beautiful but suspect hitchhiker Harley (Jennifer Esposito) who convinces him to pose as her husband to get two million dollars from a safety deposit box. Ray agrees but plans go terribly wrong when the bank manager recognises that he's not really her husband. What happens from there would only be spoilers.

It just goes to show, one viewing of a movie is not enough to write a decent review. The first time I thought it had a weak storyline and I was a little disappointed that Robert Patrick (RP) was once again in a mediocre movie. On the second viewing things started to pick up. I was more used to the characters personalities and their little quirks. I could also piece together the story a little more.

I rejoice that the people who auditioned RP for this part saw that he was PERFECT for it. They didn't need a 'pretty boy' they needed someone who could act vulnerable and naïve and change when the need arose. The intense sexuality in this move stands out. RP can so tell it all with his eyes and facial expressions. As his video store assistant says, . Does he need this woman? We'll see as we view the movie.

There were also some good, funny and adorable lines in this movie.

Harley: You know the speed limit's 55?
Ray: Was I speeding?
Harley: No but if you were going any slower we'd be going backwards.
Ray: (gorgeous smile) Eveybody's in such a hurry these days.
...................

Ray: I got the tire out like you said.
Harley: I cannot believe you never changed a tire before.
Ray: Gosh, I've just been lucky I guess.
Harley: ! Are you a priest or something?
Ray: No! I own a video store (smile)
Harley: Oh, same thing.
................

This is a must for RP enthusiasts to view and to buy. He is funny, he smiles, he exudes sexual appeal and he is in the majority of the scenes...
