Another gem that might get lost under big budget film marketing

Fortunately I wasn't living in any of the cities that were affected by the Blackout in 2003 and after watching this film, I am most thankful. I always wondered how volatile things actually were in certain cities and as with any crisis, situations bring out the best and worst of people. Blackout's well-written script and characterization of the community really provided a 'true-to-life' story of the 7 state blackout of 2003. But then again, any production that includes such talented actors as Jeffrey Wright, veterans Melvin Van Pebbles, LaTanya Richardson and Saul Rubinek would predictably see honest portrayals of native New Yorkers. However, each actor in this indie production certainly carried their weight resulting in a well-crafted movie that offers a convincing tale to an otherwise brief dark sport in U.S. city.

Good movie. Definitly for New Yorkers.

I watched this movie to see what happened to other people in New York during the blackout. My experience definitely wasn't negative. I liked this movie because it opened up my mind to what other people had went through on that day, and since I know flatbush pretty well, I could believe that all this happened. Jamie Hector is definitely an actor that people should watch out for. And if anyone is familiar with The Wire HBO series they know he is a good actor. I recommend this to anyone who lived in New York at the time of the blackout, sad that this was not a major release. February 6, 2008
