Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Best movie ever!

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I read all the reviews, and, sure, the acting is amateurish, but fine. The beautiful scenery could have been better exploited. And to take a theme like the breakdown of the US with potential to dig into the potential libertarian ideology of a future Jefferson state and exploit it so casually in an attempt at a noir thriller was a disappointment. And I did get the feeling like they were almost making up the story as they went along. But there was some genuine creativity and originality poured into the film. It captured a mood. Left just enough to the imagination - not laying everything out for you. Nice self-deprecating digs at the rural Ecotopean counter-culture. Clever dialogue, particularly between the protagonist and his computer companion. Credit for what it is - just a mellow piece of art with some nice ideas.

Fun story. Easy to watch. They made it for 100k, so don't expect the moon. The main protagonist's life is a mess. It only gets worse tracking down an old lover and getting caught up in a living nightmare. Would have been cool to have more of the "android" functioning, but then his tension with this implant is also interesting. It's film-noir so the protagonist is fallible. The whole tone of the story is dark. The ending keeps you guessing about how things went down. Many of the negative comments here are ungrounded in the budget restrictions this crew had. It's absolutely amazing what they were able to accomplish for the price tag. T

I'm the kind of guy who will just throw a movie on while I'm playing a video game or whatnot so I can live with a lot of bad things in a movie, but this one is so bad it hurt. I barely made it 15 minutes in before I had to stop it. The CG looks like terrible, flat and terrible renders. The acting is... well also flat and and inexpressive. The cinematography is perfect, as long as the scene is boring and there is nothing better to look at than an actor walking across the shot. Sound fx, sounds like it was grabbed off the internet - they somehow managed to fit 200 wildly applauding people into a shabby nightclub for example. Unless you're really bored and don't mind a very sub-par movie just don't bother with this one.

Old fashioned detective story in a different world and with lots of twists. Small actions by the actors make the movie very real; a sign of great direction. The protagonist is like any other fresh-faced 30 year old fellow out of the military and out of work in 2029; the only perk from his former job was that he gets to keep Clyde. Clyde is calming and non-judgmental; although sometimes living with a voice in one's head is helpful, but sometimes a third party is not sexy. The movie has the noir feel of older movies in black and white when the detective had to figure out what was happening by using his brain, not super powers. Refreshing! I highly recommend Black Road!
