Reviews for Black Cloud
If he can refine his writing and keep his heart in the right place, Schroder's next movie might offer the impact that 'Black Cloud' is missing.
A determinedly old-fashioned boxing/ coming-of -age film, only perfunctorily hitting its marks.
In drawing on hackneyed plot devices from both sports movies and films about Native Americans, Schroder essentially has created an extended version of Walker, Texas Ranger without the intellectual dialogue or, sadly, Chuck Norris.
A punch-drunk boxing drama that can't quite connect as it swings for its emotional uppercut.
