Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
yjudith Definitely a thriller!! What I loved the most about this film is as it progresses you begin to realize nothing is what it seems, and even if it is, you really cant be sure. LOVE IT!!! I enjoyed seeing Antonio Banderas; I think he is underrated as an actor. And Jonathan Rhys Meyers...I've liked everything I've seen him. Great story even though I was a tad disappointed at the end.
Queen_The real me I started this movie with no expectations. but eventually as the movie progressed, i found myself in a trance like LITERALLY, i was unable to move, cuz of the shock and the gripping anticipation. i couldnt take my eyes of the screen.I am indeed impressed with the cast. Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Antonio Banderas both really pulled off the roles. Its been a while since i have been suspense-filled and couldn't guess the actual ending of the movie. THUMBS UP.I highly recommend Black butterfly to my fellow movie maniacs. What a watch!Enjoy!
RoboRabbit89 Antonio Banderas is great in this film, I don't get to see him in a lot these days, but he was good in this.Banderas plays Paul, a struggling novel writer who lives in a cabin in the woods or at least in a rural area in the country. One day, he drives along and picks up a seemingly average hitcher named Jack walking along, and decides in good faith to give him a lift to wherever he needs to go.The man seems friendly and needs a place to stay for the night, at Paul's cabin, Jack sees Paul's manuscript and expresses interest in helping Paul write on the script and whatever else Paul needs done around the cabin during his stay. Just then, Paul's world is turned upside down for the worst!I only got to see this at least once but I'm surprised I can still remember it pretty well, all though I'm a little fuzzy on the way things played out. I don't what to give away the twists in this, because the twists are very good and unpredictable.Johnathon Rhys Meyers is great as the mysterious Jack as well as Piper Parabo who plays Paul's associate in business.Overall a good unpredictable thriller that was refreshingly original, at least in concept. I would defiantly see this again, it is, I think, a re-watchable film at best.I give this a 7/10. Antonio Bandaras is very good with an equally good supporting cast. Highly recommended.
waywardroute ~ starts out flat, with almost no character development, lots of dialog but no real interaction between them and their actions, becomes boring and predictable at a certain point; then it hits you, and for 2 minutes it becomes a great f*****g movie only to mess up everything in the end and give you the cheapest solution possible.
