Unraveling the Shadows: How Blackout’s Screenplay Keeps You Guessing Until the Final Frame
Having Riley and Magnus run around LA like chickens with their heads cut off is not enough to keep us engaged. We need to know what a successful mission for them looks like. Or a failed mission, for that matter. Nobody tells us what either of those things look like so we don’t care what happens.
Compare this to Independence Day. That movie is not the greatest. Like, its wacky cheesy tone nearly destroys it. But do you know why it works? Because the stakes are clear. Once we see the aliens blow up the White House, we know that if we don’t solve this issue, we’re goners.
