"Blackout" is a decent, fairly well-done thriller, made for TV. Although the idea of an amnesiac hero is as old as the movies themselves, the film offers a few insights into the situation and wonders how responsible an amnesiac is for crimes that he may (or may not) have commited in his past life. The film plays like a murder mystery and mostly succeeds in keeping you interested. However, it doesn't rise above mediocrity, because many plot elements are overly familiar.
