What can be salvaged and how far along has technology come? Are we able to help people with mind issues? And is this what the movie is about? Not so spoil anything, so I won't go into that. The thriller aspect of the movie works quite well. I don't think anyone can entirely guess where the movie will go, though I reckon many will at least smell something funny.

Having said that, it still is a thrilling and surprising journey one can take with the movie. And one that is suspensful enough to work overall. Good acting, good shocks and a really decent movie we get. Nothing spectacular but more than stellar!

'Black Box (2020)' follows a man who, following a near-fatal car crash, undergoes an experimental procedure in an attempt to cure his amnesia. It's a bit of an unbalanced blend between sci-fi and horror, bouncing between its genres rather than embodying them simultaneously. Still, both aspects are pulled off pretty well and the overall result is an entertaining experience throughout. It's a bit of a puzzle-box piece. As it progresses, its layers slowly get peeled back; in fact, the entire thing gets turned on its head around halfway through. It's engaging and interesting, a relatively complex story that keeps you invested throughout. Though some of its pseudo science does come across as a tad silly, the flick has a solid emotional centre that keeps things grounded and resonant. Though it isn't all that memorable in the long run, it's a surprising and ever-evolving affair that's enjoyable throughout. 7/10
