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

Quite intriguing story that keeps you guessing for most of the film, but towards the end it has already been told.

Zero originality and an extraordinarily slow pace makes Blind Horizon a tough watch even for those intrigued by its opening.

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.

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
