Review of Blackthorn

Blackthorn (2011)
6/10
I REALLY wanted to like this film
27 March 2021
A compelling premise gets a bit lost in the exposition. Sam Shepard is compelling as ever and this film is beautifully shot - top notch cinematography, for sure.

But, about 2/3 of the way through the plot loses momentum and I was left wanting more...and the plot resolution is neither transparent nor compelling...a disappointing "final reel" to a previously well woven tale.

Seems as though an opportunity was missed here although it is compelling and watchable to the last, I was unsatisfied by the denouement.
