Reviews for Blackwoods
Blackwoods is all affected 'style,' not intelligent or clear enough to pull off its grand vision. When the final act twists come they don’t feel so much shocking or intelligent as just ridiculous.
Crudely executed by all hands, Blackwoods is--true to its title--an overreaching blur.
Director Uwe Boll and writer Robert Dean Klein fail to generate any interest in an unsympathetic hero caught up in an intricate plot that while cleverly worked out, cannot overcome blah characters.
Director Uwe Boll and the actors provide scant reason to care in this crude '70s throwback.
It turns out to be smarter and more diabolical than you could have guessed at the beginning.
When the precise nature of Matthew's predicament finally comes into sharp focus, the revelation fails to justify the build-up.
Boll uses a lot of quick cutting and blurry step-printing to goose things up, but dopey dialogue and sometimes inadequate performances kill the effect.
