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.

They don't make 'em like this anymore.
The truth will set you free
That's how the saying goes, right? And why wouldn't it - on the other hand, does it specify which truth and who it does set free? Those are important details - especially when it comes to a thriller and truth finding that may not be in the interest for some people.
Intense and very well told, this has great actors and great twists and turns to boast about. It will take you on a ride and go in different directions with you. Interesting choice in the end - whatever you may think of it. Overall I liked it - light but yet still full of surprises and heaviness of sorts.
7/10. 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.
