runway34 The movie was entertaining, but became frustratingly unrealistic in the last half hour. I won't tell you exactly what happened but I was yelling why don't they do this or that, or you have got to be kidding me for almost the entire last half hour. Especially the ending where the victims are located in a place where there was no chance they could have had access to, but they are still spotted immediately by their rescuers. I believe you should suspend disbelief to a point when watching a movie, but the movie makers also have a responsibility to keep things within the realm of possibility.I am a professional firefighter so I understand that in a crisis a lot of people do stupid things and use bad tactics when facing life threatening challenges. But to me it would be more entertaining to see people who are using good judgment and not freaking out.

maros612 This movie turned out perfect. It had the rich point of view of an indie film, while it had a perfect cast and Hollywood standard of high quality footage. The characters are very believable in this movie, and the brilliant scenes were creating a great atmosphere of a Brooklyn block house and its surrounding. The streets were very alive and I haven't gotten bored for a single moment while watching this movie.Girls in the flick are beautiful and some even little 'hoochie', which makes them even more hot. Zoe Saldana, the beauty of Dominican origin and Susan Watson really shined in this movie. Also not well known Khalida Outlaw was great and Sara Pickett was a great discovery, which will hopefully be seen a lot in the future.The story is believed to be based on true characters and events. I don't want to spoil anything, but I can surely tell the movie graduates into very realistic drama events. There were comments like the whole building up characters gets them nowhere in the plot. That's absolutely not true. Each characters have a set of very own approach and perception of the reality that's going on. I recommend this film to anyone, and I'm rating it 8.

gelooo69 After seeing some good reviews on IMDb For this pointless waste of time i decided to watch it with a group of mates. BIG MISTAKE! I want my sat night back, but more, i want the trust i also lost with my friends back, as i will probably never be allowed to choose a movie again.Don't get me wrong, this movie looked pretty good at the start. Building up characters for the audience to slightly get connected to, Only to lead to absolutely nothing. I was expecting to see another LA riot. But what you get is about as exciting as the dramas in the Brady Bunch movie. This movie dragged on building up its climax only fizzel out just when things looked good. This would barely make it as a mid-day movie. It gets a 3 because the acting was pretty good. But having a black-out in your own home would be just as exciting.

Lex Vegas The movie was very good. I liked it. I missed out on the Tribeca screening but was able to make the urban world screening. My favorite part was when one couple was having a talk about how did one got home when there was a black out and the guy just got bagged for for not telling the truth. I wont get into detail because I don't want to give it away. The movie director was def. inspired by spike lee, you can catch a scene or two of "do the right thing" It was one part or two in the movie that i thought was a little over done but thats just an opinion. The after party of the screening was nice. a lot of people showed up. Vibe magazine was taking pictures, people was having fun.thank you Judith.
