Víctor López G. Espinof 110 dull and unnecessarily convoluted minutes. Rated: 5/10 Mar 23, 2021 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Cynical, violent political thriller has language, nudity. Rated: 2/5 Feb 19, 2021 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation A bit of a slog, frustrating and convoluted. Rated: 2/4 Feb 9, 2021 Full Review John Serba Decider For most viewers, Black Beach is probably more work than it's worth. Feb 5, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

D H In a word, insufferable. I wanted to submit a literal one-word review but the algorithm wouldn't let me. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Daniel G A bit plodding, Spanish-European movie set mostly in a very destitute Africa. Though well-made & impactful. Real politiks and the power of the press - though the actual consequences for the family are left up in the dark. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/16/22 Full Review Audience Member bastante entretenida la pelicula 7/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review raphael v Serious display of the conditions of a post colonized and currently re-colonized African nation existing under a warlord allied with liberal democracy. Good representation of how Capitalist enerprises work in these settings. Acting is quite good. Plenty of tense action. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It had action and drama but at its heart, it throws light on the nature of the political world we live in, and the grab for resources. I watched it on Netflix. When so many movies are sensationalist and manufactured, this felt like an honest tale, worth telling, and told well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member After watching this .. the sacrifice of a country's people for a few to get rich off its natural resources is a common theme around the world, Oil is number 1 on that list and 1 man learns he will have to turn in his own family to see some change in the world Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
