Black Butterfly
Description
Outside a mountain town grappling with a series of abductions and murders, Paul (Antonio Banderas), a reclusive writer, struggles to start what he hopes will be a career-saving screenplay. After a tense encounter at a diner with a drifter named Jack (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), Paul offers Jack a place to stay-and soon the edgy, demanding Jack muscles his way into Paul's work. As a storm cuts off power to the isolated cabin, the two men begin a jagged game of one-upmanship that will bring at least one tale to an end.

A weak, uninspired thriller, offering a frustrating and implausible twist instead of anything in the way of tension.

Thanks to tight direction by Brian Goodman and lively performances from Antonio Banderas and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, the film's engaging even when it's ridiculous.

None of it is earth-shattering, but Goodman gives it muscle and makes it work.

Likely to divide audience with its twists and turns, but it's rarely dull, perhaps best appreciated as a higher minded exploitation effort than a brain-bleeder with occasionally iffy working parts.

A charmless, nonsensical thriller that doubles as a hack screenwriter's wet dream, filled to the brim with faux-insights that wouldn't impress even the most inattentive college freshmen.

Relatively entertaining and well-acted until one twist too many. at the very end.

It doesn't make much sense up until [the third act], and once we do have an understanding of what was happening ... suddenly things stop making sense in a different way.

Black Butterfly's undercooked and incoherent turn of events attempt to stupefy us into mistaking its deeply flawed internal logic for ingenuity.

Three stars! Well played! But wait, there's one more scene. Look children - it's a falling star.

Black Butterfly plays as little more than the act of snickering adolescents toying with their audience, complete with an insulting final scene that confirms the film as a total waste of time.
