Three residents of the same apartment block find themselves trapped in the building's stalled lift; however, all of them have somewhere urgent to go - to the bed of a dying grandmother, to a fiancée who's waiting to elope and back to a flat that needs to be cleaned of a dirty secret before anyone else comes home. What first seems an inconvenience soon turns in to a nightmare when no one answers their calls, their meagre water supply runs out and one of them goes a bit crazy under the pressure.

I was quite curious about what story the creators could concoct from such a weak and empty premise; whether it would be something original or they would do something that basically anyone could come up with (B is the right answer, one of the three prisoners is a jerk). In the hands of a good director and screenwriter, this could have been an pretty interesting film, but the opposite is true and Blackout is not worth much. That nerve-wrecking fight for survival the distributor officially speaks about takes place in the last half hour and consists of a boring conversation and about two interesting action scenes. There are many better films about imprisoned people (Saw, Cube), avoid this one.
