Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine Michael Haussman's over-directed conspiracy thriller takes place in a small desert town in New Mexico and recalls a bad episode of The X-Files. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 19, 2004 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...there's just nothing terribly memorable about Blind Horizon. Rated: 2/4 Apr 10, 2005 Full Review Caffeinated Clint Moviehole A mesmerising jigsaw mystery with a story that keeps you glued to the end. Swimming in the same waters as "Memento". Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 5, 2005 Full Review Danny Minton Beaumont Journal The story itself is very cool and keeps you guessing until the surprising end. Rated: A- Mar 29, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Pretty good movie that keeps u on your toes till the end Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite intriguing story that keeps you guessing for most of the film, but towards the end it has already been told. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Zero originality and an extraordinarily slow pace makes Blind Horizon a tough watch even for those intrigued by its opening. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A man wakes up in a hospital with no memory of who he is, where he is from, or what he is doing in a small town in the New Mexico desert. A series of flashbacks leads him to believe that the President's life might be in danger, but he can't explain how or why he knows this information. Blind Horizon was a well executed conspiracy-thriller with great performances by Val Kilmer, Neve Campbell, and Sam Shepard. Not an overly-convoluted plot by any means, but still twisted enough to keep you second-guessing yourself. Very well edited, the narrative held strong until the very end - there was no rush to get ahead of itself, no need to hold the audiences hand the whole way through. It just unfolded quite naturally with the help of a good cast. Well worth watching if you want to kill some time. Also, as usual, Kilmer looks great in a cowboy hat. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Bardzo przewidywalny. Warto tylko dla Neve Campbell. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was surprisingly well done. Val Kilmer stars as Frank Kavanaugh, a man who was shot in the head and left for dead in the desert. He awakens from a coma with vague recollections of a plot to assassinate the President of the United States and of course nobody believes him. There were a few scenes that just seemed out of place and / or awkward but overall it flowed well with flashbacks / memories and the developing plot. Definitely worth the watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
