Okay, If you watch this movie expecting to see some amazingly deep, oscar worthy movie, you're going to be disappointed. If you're easily offended (or disgusted) then you're not gonna be happy with this movie. For the rest of us (who enjoy a lil t&a and hilarious "i-got-my-thumb-cut-off" scenes), this movie's great. Perhaps i think it's so amazing because of my deep and profound love for Justin Pierce (1975 - 2000 R.I.P) aka Luther. I dunno. I liked it though. I thought it was absolutely hilarious, although at times it was kinda disgusting.

I admit, for the first ten or fifteen minutes I thought I was going to have to detroy this dvd and any evidence that I had purchased it. But I gave it a chance and this turned out to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Whoever was in charge of marketing this film ought to be fired, because judging from the cover one would expect to see a action/thriller. Well, it has action, a bit of gore but it's mostly a comedy. Very funny stuff! I recommend it to anyone with a slightly deranged sense of humor!

This movie is entertaining, period. The joke is on you when you begin to take the movie seriously. pretty soon you realize that the villan is a crack smoking serial killer with a disposition and voice of an English Prince.

Jimmy (Bokeem Woodbine) and Luther (Justin Pierce) are con-men who've hit rock bottom. In a desperate move, they plan to blackmail a doctor to pay off their loan shark. What they didn't count on was their victim being more dangerous than themselves and the loan shark they fear.

While the premise may sound contrived and overly formulaic, it isn't. This small picture is fresh and at times original and always entertaining. In the world were the "Heist Gone Bad" genre is as tired as the "Boy Meets Girl" story line, comes a familiar story with some nice twists and turns. At times Blackmale is over the top, but it never stops entertaining. During the viewing of the movie, I found myself at different points in the movie, rooting for different characters, all of them more messed up than the others, while all of them being likeable in some way.

One of the stars, Bokeem Woodbine, is, in my opinion a highly underated and undersused actor. Another passed over film that he starred in, Caught Up, was a great ride, and highly entertaining. Just when you think you had it all figured out it switched gears on you. All the way up until the end the movie kept you on your toes and was never predictable or contrived.

THIS MOVIE WAS VERY FUNNY! FROM THE COVER OF THE MOVIE AND THE FIRST 10 TO 15 MINUTES I TAUGHT THIS MOVIE WAS GOING TO BE TERRIBLE. BUT AS I CONTINUED TO WATCH, THE MOVIE GOT MORE INTERESTING AND FUNNY. I WOULD RECOMMENED THIS MOVIE. IT WAS DIFFERENT AND SUPER FUNNY. WORTH VIEWING.

I remember catching this on cable late one night a few years ago and thought it was pretty funny. It's got action and some strange humor so I'd say it's not for everybody but I enjoyed it..it kinds reminds me of Freeway..

Some people like to forget that their comment is simply THEIR opinion and assume the rest of the world must agree.
If you like cool movies with a twist of thrills and comedy, you may want to check this out.
I personally thought is was awesome and is worth at least a rent if your looking for something different.

This movie was quite hysterical despite the fact that this "Thriller" was not meant to be a comedy. The main plot consists of two pathetic and desperate con men attempting to blackmail a serial killing doctor who's mental state is way past questionable and the repayment of money to a deranged and violent loan shark.

The actors were bad and tried to over compensate for such a poorly written script latent with good intentions not to mention the predictability of occurrences. But through all of the flaws in the script, continuity and cinematography, I found myself irresistibly drawn to reach the conclusion of the movie...thus proving my hypothesis on Black Male=Visual Extortion. It held my interest captive up until the very end. And to see Bokeem Woodbine dressed as a woman is worth the price of rental or purchase. TRUST ME!

I suggest viewing the movie if you life offbeat and quirky flicks or just need a good laugh. It sure kept me in stitches!

Blackmale is a twisting, swirling story of greed and agony meshed on the battleground of "haves" and "have nots". While gory and terribly unforgiving in the depection of the primal desires of humans, Sascha Knopf shines in her role of the loving but gullible female lead. Knopf is incredibly powerful and generates a warmth much needed in this cold world feature. Bringing humor and beauty to the venture, Knopf succeeds in shining through the bleakness and dark humor of the story. See Knopf in "Are You Talking to Me?" with Danny Devito.

This was undoubtedly the worst thing God ever allowed to happen on Earth. The entire movie was complete non-sense. The movie was based around a tape of a doctor cheating on his wife. Thats the blackmail("Black Male"... cause one guy in the movie is black... get it?) But this tape wasn't made with hidden cameras or anything, it was just a big man following the cheater around with a videocamera. I guess the doctor was suffering from Hysterical CameraMan Blindness. Oh yeah, another good scene was when the Black Male got harassed by a cop because of a flat tire. Not such a big deal until it turns out that theres a dead body in the trunk as well. For some reason, the body starts gushing blood and when the blood starts pooling up on the pavement, the only conclusion the cop can draw is that the guy cut himself. Luckily when the cop finally realizes that the gallons of blood aren't coming from a cut, his head gets run over by a car. At this point I couldn't even continue watching the movie, as it was making me vomit over and over again until my TV screen was completely covered in stomach acid.
