It was all going so well and I loved it... then the ending. Damn, if they ended it 1 minute earlier it would have been perfect. sometimes trying too many twists spoils it.

_Black Butterfly_ is a tense and exciting film. Antonio Banderas delivers a strong performance as a reclusive writer who takes in a drifter, only to find himself at the mercy of the unpredictable and potentially dangerous stranger. The film's exploration of the power dynamics between the two men, and the psychological games they play, is both disturbing and fascinating. While the plot may feel somewhat familiar to fans of the genre, the film's strong performances and suspenseful pacing make it a worthwhile watch.

i will love anything the three main actors do (i suffered through the entire cia series piper perabo did for usa, i'm COMMITTED) but this could have been so much better save for the last "twist". it was a solid (if predictable) thriller until that final scene.

If it could have cut out the last two to three of the seven or so endings, then I could maybe have seen _Black_ _Butterfly_ getting a bigger score. As it stands, I can get it to fresh by the skin of its teeth.

_Final rating:★★★ - I personally recommend you give it a go._

It was a little surprise film, but not that great. I really enjoyed it. It was thrilling, suspense and fast paced storytelling. I usually like this type of flicks. If you too prefer entertainment over a masterpiece, then you would enjoy i More
