Blackrock seemed unfinished..., 7 July 2000
1/10
Author: dita-3 from Melbourne, Australia

Blackrock was not a film I would recommend. All of the characters were extremely undeveloped. The plot seemed unfinished. This film had the potential to be a quite good movie, but seemed like it was unfinished. The character of Jared didn't have any motive for not saying anything about the rape. It was absolutely ridiculous, and an extremely unrealistic portrayal of Australian teenagers.
