How sad is this?

A different way of telling a story

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

At the start of the movie, a prison bus is wrecked intentionally, and a group led by Thomas Payne takes some prisoners (including Scar) off the bus, though many of those on the bus are shot.At day's end, John Gray leaves his job at the Arizona State Bank only to get into an accident that leaves him with amnesia. His wife takes him back to their fabulous home hoping he will remember something.John keeps seeing visions and having nightmares. He sees Payne and Scar, as well as a tattoo worn by some of the prisoners who were on the bus.John returns to work when he is well enough, but his memory is returning very slowly. Each revelation comes with excitement and even some humor.In the process of investigating his past life, John calls The Rebel Bar in Los Angeles, where the bartender thinks he sounds like Wayne Garret. Later, Payne and Scar hear that Wayne may have turned up.A tattoo artist refuses to help at first when John shows him the design, but after some persuasion John is told this is a tattoo worn by people he would probably not want to associate with.John goes to Los Angeles, where he teams up with cocktail waitress Jenny to find out the truth about his past. Why does Jenny help him? Because during one of his episodes, he thinks Jenny is his wife and helps her out of a jam.I'm glad I didn't judge the movie by its very violent opening scene. There are a few scenes that would appeal to the macho types who enjoy gunfire, explosions and car chases. As you might expect, many of these are near the end. But it was the mystery that appealed to me, watching the details of John's past life unfold slowly.Plus the interaction between John and Jenny proved to be my favorite part of the movie. Jenny is pretty, tough, and intelligent. Not to mention funny. At one point, she reminded me of Erica Durance, the feisty young Lois Lane in "Smallville".Scar is ... colorful. Sort of like a WWE wrestler. Payne is eerie.It was good. Just more violent than I would have liked.

There are few words to describe just how hypnotically bad this film is, and no rational way in which I can explain my fascination with it. Brian Bosworth proves beyond a doubt that acting is not his strongest talent and seeing this proof displayed so vividly on screen is a treat like no other. An odd thing occurred the moment I saw Brad Dourif on the screen, having seen his immense acting talents on Deadwood over the last 3 seasons (what an outstanding performance) and yet here he is, in a movie so horribly thrown together that I almost wanted to imagine that he had been forced at gunpoint to even participate. Alas, everyone must begin somewhere I suppose... even if it is alongside The Boz. If you are looking for a shoddy story with mind numbing acting that will have you laughing all along the way, then this festering turd of a cinematic nightmare is your dessert. Enjoy, preferably with plenty of like minded friends. (watching it alone is just... sad)

This is a popcorn b-action flick that is better than most of the films that Brian Bosworth has made. It's an amnesia story that we've all seen before about a bank executive who after being hit by a car returns home to find his wife brutally murdered. Good action as he unravels the mystery of his life and pursues the killers. All-in-all the producers deliver an ok movie.

This is the second Film of Brian Bosworth. Blackout is in Germany known as Midnight Heat. Bosworth is not so hard,we known him in Stone Cold. But is a good Story and Bosworth is my favourite actor. The Film has his Action-Moments they I Like. Car-Chasing, Fights and Explosions. But I find the Story is better. It makes fun to watching Bosworth has a Amnesie (Blackout). This is another great Bosworth Movie. Check also Stone Cold and One Man's Justice, the best Bosworth Movies.
