Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Some of the gags are funny, some are stale, and some are stale but still funny.

rotten:
A tasting menu of hard-man predicaments that never offer more than a pale introduction to the innocent mark flailing at their center.

rotten:
In terms of character and plot, not one element of the intended wild ride escapes self-consciousness or becomes the least bit involving.
– Sheri Linden,

rotten:
A self-aware, borderline self-reflexive action-comedy from the Netherlands, Arne Toonen's Black Out is derivative in a way that undermines its wry sense of self.
