CIA Agent Abby Trent (Michelle Monaghan) manages an underground black site facility that imprisons dangerous and high-risk detainees. Days before Abby's reassignment to a new post, Special Ops bring in a high-value target at the top of every Most Wanted list -- codename: Hatchet (Jason Clarke). Hatchet is notorious for killing his enemies in a gruesome manner, and for Abby, his capture is personal. Determined to avenge her husband's death at the hands of Hatchet, Abby's plan is soon thrown into chaos once Hatchet escapes and begins a bloody game of murdering the site officers --one-by-one. While Abby and the team hunt him down, she quickly discovers that there are moles within the ranks compromising the mission. With time running out, Abby doubts everyone around her, begging the question who can she really trust?

Perhaps the most depressing thing about Sophia Banks’s “Black Site” — a dreary, underwritten thriller — is an ending that suggests a sequel might already be in the works.

Common Sense Media

While the film succeeds in its action elements, it fails when it comes to portraying characters of color. Every character of color is treated as fodder and killed off...

Rated: 3/5

[Black Site is] a pretty okay movie that mostly succeeds in spite of some obvious limitations.

Cinemalogue

While downplaying the sociopolitical complexities that form its backdrop, the film squanders a promising start with dwindling narrative urgency in the second half.

Driven by a strong lead performance from Michelle Monaghan, Black Site features some bloody action movie thrills as its titular subterranean facility is torn apart by Jason Clarke’s one man terrorist army.

Black Site ends up a black hole of stereotypical nonsense that cant even muster emotional investment or intentionally humorous additives to keep its audience on hand

Could the movie get worse or more stereotypical? Matt Theo's performance was unconvincing and ho-hum. A rewrite of the script and getting actors who can play their roles. Matt Theo stood out as the worst, and I found myself laughing at his attempts to be threatening and intimidating. Don't waste your time.

Poor plot, poor acting, waste of time watching and the money wasted producing it is heart breaking.

I waited until the Director's Cut came out and I'm grateful I did. I loved the performances and stunts, the action was cool and Jason as "Hatchet" had me wondering who was going to end up alive by the end. Great for a Friday night.
