Good Film shame about the Adverts !!, 17 Aug 2007
A little message to ' Showbox Home Entertainment ' or whoever who decided to place ' three adverts ' before the dvd is playable.
Funny enough I really resent being held hostages in my own Home to unwelcome adverts and I will make certain that I will avoid any DVD's from ' Showbox Home Entertainment ' in the future.
The ' Menu ' button is locked until ' they ' decide to allow you access so therefor
you have ' eight minutes ' of adverts.
Do these people really think they are doing their Customer's any favour's ?
If Studios want to place adverts then they should do this at the end of the DVD not at the start.
This unwelcome intrusion really put me off even watching the DVD but I did stick though it.
Blind Horizon is a 2003 conspiracy thriller film directed by Michael Haussman. The screenplay was co-written by F. Paul Benz and Steve Tomlin. The leading cast includes Val Kilmer, Neve Campbell, Sam Shepard, Amy Smart, and Faye Dunaway.
I cant really go into too much detail because this would spoil your enjoyment.
Take a tip from me - bang in the DVD and then go and make a pot of tea - by the time you get back the adverts will have ended.
Its well worth the effort

OVER-COOKED, UNDER-WHELMING, 6 Sep 2005
This review is from: Blind Horizon [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
He's shot on a remote arid pasture of New Mexico. Loses his memory. Wakes up on a hospital cot with all these flashes, you know, US president being assassinated by snipers and all that jazz. No one quite comprehends what White House has to do with this forlorn desert but that's the rote mystery of it all. Intriguing setup? Well, borderline. But the execution is so flaky, so pseudo-MTV like, it annoys more than it entertains. Strange characters spring up periodically for no rhyme or reason, accompanied by high octane outbursts of sepia and B&W -- flashbacks one concludes. All of which resolves into a painfully deja vu plot. Every time a clue comes up it feels like a stray clip from a Depeche Mode video. The experience is grating, not so much for all the adoloscent 'twists' up its sleeve, certainly not for a lack of top stars (Val Kilmer, Neve Campbell, Sam Shepard), but for its aesthetic predicated on sudden bass thumps and scattershot imagery. In other words, a loud B-grade thriller that induces amnesia in its audience faster than its own protagonist could try and remember.

A MacDo thrilling assassination fo a president, 19 Dec 2010
Another thriller about the killing of the president of the USA somewhere nowhere in New Mexico. In the well named city of Blackpoint. With such a subject you have to be slightly more subtle and contorted and contorted they were. Three killers. One is attacked by some unknown or at least dubious people and he loses his memory but not his life. The unidentified shady assailants can come back to the front as some kind of girlfriend or fiancée. He does not remember and he is ready to do his duty, though he remains dubious. Little by little he recovers his memory and he finally gets to the very heart of the matter. His acolytes want to get rid of him not so simple. But the fiancée comes back and that makes things tricky and very sick indeed. And what's more he likes the nurse who managed to bring him back to life out of his coma and she is waiting for him somewhere with a good surprise that is not only fiery blonde sex. So he cleans up the dirty plate of the assassination by doing his duty and he then can disappear with the blonde. But what was the fashion picture on the back cover of a flashy magazine of that poor solitary cowboy and the blonde nurse doing or representing? They must have met before in a trendier situation and in more glamorous circumstances. But well all is well that ends well, It is well known, and you can assassinate the president and yet run away with a few million dollars to enjoy the sightseeing of some distant country.
