Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Good watch. Great Finale Twist. The last few minutes ruined it for me. Would have rated higher if it ended with that awesome finale. Wonder why they would choose to twist again and mess up the cleverness with a Dallas? ... Jonathan Rhys Meyers continues to be an outstanding talent.

Since his fall from being in the Hollywood "A" list, Antonio Banderas hasn't been terribly successful in finding quality direct to video productions to star in, and "Black Butterfly" doesn't do anything to break him out of the doldrums. I will admit that I never got to the point of being bored by what I was seeing. However, all the same the movie failed to engage me. It's a very slow-moving movie, taking much longer to get to key points in its storyline. It takes about 40% of the movie for the Banderas character to realize that he might be unsafe about the hitchhiker he has invited into his home. But what's worse about the movie is the two (yes, two) twists the movie decides to pull off in its last half hour. While I admit I didn't see the first twist coming, right after it was pulled off, it instantly became ludicrous when thinking about it. And I thought about it a lot. Even worse is the second twist at the very end of the movie, a clichéd and oh-so-tired twist that essentially makes what we have seen up to that point a waste of time. Had the movie instead gone the more logical and believable route, and ditched those two twists, we might have had an okay thriller. But as it is, it will most likely frustrate and anger viewers.P.S. Attempts to pass the shot in Italy countryside as being Colorado are very unsuccessful.

When you had good actors and pretty good story, its hard to make mistake, but director of this movie was managed it. I m not sure what is the worst, directing or editing? I had a feeling the director and the editor were in some argue when they making the movie. So, when I saw reviews from other users I cant believe that was the same movie. Conclusion is: You can freely skip this movie. :(

Why do they do this? When you have a decent ensemble and possibly a great script...only to be let down by the final act.I won't go into the detail of the movie, sufficed to say the film goes at a fair rate and the direction is good, as one is constantly trying to think 'where's the plot heading', AND THEN, OMG, the big reveal and the 'Bobby Ewing' was a massive let down.I know in modern times, everyone tries to do the M. Night Shyamalan, twist, but REALLY? And to make it worse Antonios' confession isn't even hinted at, or is why the FBI are on to him, as there were no clues left at any of the scenes.Have to say, I wasn't expecting much, and for an hour I was pleasantly surprised and impressed... Shame.
