black day blue night be actually good modern noir . three young nomad on the run from their own life team up on something of a road trip through a desert in the middle of nowhere ( a most modern noir do ) . one woman find that her husband be cheat on her and and after find him in a hotel room and decide to head off and start anew . strangely enough and she travel with her husband mistress and who be forgiveable give that the sleazebag never tell her he be marry . and together and while drive in the pouring rain and they meet a third and very mysterious young man with a suitcase full of secret . while theyre giddy and free and all suspicious of one another and the cop back at town have them mark a suspect in the death of a policeman . black day blue night start out with immediate confrontation and and throw in a pretty good story with all it twist meant to mislead your suspicion of one character after another and lead to a very unusual end . that be and the movie start with immediate action confrontation and and once you think the story be solve and you be immediately thrust into yet another turn in the plot and revealing just a little more than you expect before the movie be over . but and a some viewer have write and the end be slightly confusing and a bit of a let down . the killer be not who you would immediately expect and and once reveal and become somewhat confusing due to a rather thinly explain flashback which reveal all of the necessary motive to solve the mystery . but actually and there be a finale beyond that and which i would think be the most interesting of the film . because modern noir always involve a circle of criminal suspect and almost always all of them guilty of something and it be also a genre that always involve money . and thus the question in these movie always become how far be the character willing to go for money . if you like this rendition of modern film noir and i would suggest watch red rock west ( it also get j. t. walsh and some go ons in the blasted desert ) .
