Plot Summary
An audacious crime-comedy-thriller laced with colorful lowlifes, tough femmes fatales, and off-the-wall humor, Black Out is Guy Ritchie's Snatch by way of The Hangover, and a wickedly enjoyable ride. On the day before his wedding, retired criminal Jos (Raymond Thiry) wakes up with a splitting headache, a missing wedding ring, and a dead body in bed next to him. With no memory of the previous day's events, he quickly finds himself pursued by suspicious narcotics officers and an assortment of eccentric and dangerous criminals who believe Jos has stolen 20 kilos of cocaine. With less than 24 hours to unravel the mystery, Jos is forced back into the seedy Amsterdam underworld in hopes that he can recover the coke and ring, and live long enough to make it to the altar.

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

Loved this film, great and clever writing, plot(s) twist(s), couple of “homage” scenes to other favorite films . . . reminds me of the really good Guy Ritchie films but with a bit “darker” Dutch sensibility.
