SXSW 2009 Preview: ‘Black’

This goes with the same theme of the movies named to the SXSW Presents Fantastic Fest @ Midnight. I havent heard very much about it, but from the trailer(thanks Twitch) it looks like a pretty action packed blaxploitation films. Here is the synopsis:

This action film, taking place in Paris and Dakar, stars the French rapper MC Jean Gab’1, Carole Karemera, Franà §ois Levantal and Anton Yakovlev.

Black, a Senegalese bank-robber born and raised in France, is getting over a disastrous heist in which he lost nearly all of his men. He’s seriously thinking of going straight when his cousin Lamine calls him from Dakar: a briefcase full of contraband diamonds has just been deposited in the bank where he works. Thinking this will be an unbelievably easy coup, Black assembles a new gang and quickly flies to Africa, where he’s never set foot. What they haven’t planned, however, is that they are far from being the only ones interested in that briefcase. The corrupt director of the bank, an arm dealer suffering from suppurating psoriasis, a gang of mercenaries from Chechnya and an Interpol agent are also set to get their hands on those diamonds. With a funky soundtrack, BLACK delivers a heist film filled with action and peppered with comedy and mysticism.

This movie just oozes of super badassness. Check out the trailer below, and tell me you disagree:
