This movie is a lifetime made for TV movie with a science fiction twist. I consider this a high setting post apocalyptic film. There is no real government, supplies are in easy access, and society still functions to some extent. If I could think of one thing that stands out in this film it is the lack of music. It gives the movie a very surreal quality. I have not seen many noir films. That could be a common quality in them. I keep thinking about that Scandanivian film maker who didn't use music. It is a nice touch. Another thing about this film is how much booty the main character gets. He gets laid at least three or four times. The way some of The scenes cut it looks like the director edited out the porn bits or did some B unit footage to mask them. Who knew a cybernetic brain would accomplish all That? This is what guys need to be irrestible to the ladies! I suspect this film may be way more bawdy in its original cut. Wonga wonga! Va va va vooommm.Another thing i thought was cool about this movie was how the director Dealt with the high tech, sci fi stuff. The actors talk about like it is second hand knowledge. That makes perfect sense because whenever i use a cell phone I do not talk through the history of the telephone. I just use it. That is the way the super sci fi stuff is handled. It was very organic and believable.The beach scenes reminded me of "The Goonies". One shot in particular looks like the same rock formation from that R. Donner film.I would give this movie a chance. It is a decent flick. I did not get the ending at all. Well, I have an idea of what happened. Once again it shows how well the tech in the film was handled. I think more sci fi films need to be done in this fashion. Minimalism is a really great thing. If Lifetime made more female drama movies in sci fi settings I would give them a watch. I hope you are reading this lifetime.

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

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!

Don't miss this brilliant film which left me wanting more. Love the way it embellishes some emerging social themes in subtle but powerful ways. Main character Dylan is adrift with his 'right ear man'Clyde, his cyborg implant played superbly by Andrew Wilson. The endearing twosome get caught in a perilous web of treachery. The dark mix of intoxicating elements makes for a fascinating 'film noir' experience, with a strong script, editing, sound mixing, pacing and excellent acting provided in part by a trove of local Shakespeare festival actors. Clever and captivating with steady build-up and a very thought provoking finale. For those who enjoy thrillers, contemplation and striking new characters and ideas, this is sure to become a favorite!
