Blackout

About This Movie

So, 'Blackout' from 2013 is a quirky little comedy that spins a rather absurd premise into some interesting scenarios. The entire city of Portland loses power because of the Mayor's office not paying the bills, and it sets the stage for a series of misadventures. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, with some moments dragging while others hit with a surprising punch. The performances have this raw, almost improvisational feel that adds to the chaos. The practical effects are low-key, which fits the indie vibe and makes it feel grounded, even when the situations get ridiculous. It’s the kind of film that thrives on its offbeat humor and unique character interactions, making it a conversation starter among collectors.
