I ran into my local vid store yesterday, to check out the new releases. I found, among many, a movie I haven't heard of before. The film was called "Out of the Black." It had some recognizable names, including many award winners and nominees like Sally Kirkland, so for the price of a rental I figured I had nothing to lose.
Do you remember when films were of the quality of old John Wayne movies, or television of the likes of Bonanza, or Little House but edgier? That describes "Out of the Black," an unsung minor miracle of a movie about two young brothers who set to solve the mystery of their father's death from a mining explosion over ten years before. Tyler Christopher plays Cole Malby, the protagonist of the story who seems to never have gotten over his dad's death. As he joins forces with his brother, Patrick, tensions arise when they both become attracted to the mysterious Cait, a beautiful young woman from New York who sets to find her own missing father. Action, laughs and drama ensue, including a few moments of heartbreaking honesty. My video group and I cannot praise this film enough. Go see "Out of the Black."
