Rachel David's debut.

In the movie, the NTSB personnel continuously use the expression "black box", even among themselves. This is unlikely for aviation professionals, who would call it a Cockpit voice recorder or a Flight data recorder (depending on which part of the black box it is).

Great thriller about airport security

Since I like thrillers very much this is not the first one I have ever seen about airport security (EXECUTIVE DECISION is one that quickly comes to mind). However I was a bit reticent when I had to watch BLACKOUT EFFECT because of its low score and few divergent reviews. But when I saw it, as it progressed it became better.

John Dantley (Eric Stoltz) is a NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) officer that is sent to O'Hare Airport for investigating about a collision between a Boeing 757-200 from Los Angeles to Washington DC and a Boeing 727-200F where 185 people were killed. It won't be easy because air traffic controller Henry Drake insists that his radar had a malfunction when the planes were cleared for landing, but Dantley will do everything for making the truth come out: Drake was an already high-strung individual that didn't got along well with almost nobody and the radar system was already showing some signs of malfunction but instead of taking action started a cover up after the collision.

The acting by Stoltz was very good and this shouldn't come as a surprise. But what I liked most about this made for TV is that the twists and turns were pretty much like those in theater released thrillers, and I really couldn't wait to see when the truth would have come out!

Overall, a nice made for TV thriller that fans of the genre will no doubtly love and it's available on Youtube if you want to give it a try.
