Rotten Tomatoes: No ratings yet
My Opinion: Sometimes Netflix can provide hit or misses and with their licensing issues a lot of movies
they have are misses. This film was yet another surprise because it was decent. The plot was nothing out of
this world or award winning but it had its charm. Towards the end there are a few plot holes that left me
scratching my head, but I suppose that is why there was no theatrical release. The main catch to this film
was that Sara, the title character is blind and can barely defend herself making it an at the edge of your seat
type film.
Buyable/Rentable/Trash: I believe Blindsided or whatever you want to call it is good for a Netflix watch
which would be considered Rentable. In all honesty I wouldn't have paid good money to pay for this film if
it was not for Netflix.
