An intelligent, moving film steeped in an authentic sense of time and place.
Offers an intelligent and affecting take on political radicalization in 1950s Johannesburg.
...a harrowing, enlightening venture where 'We live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse,' sadly isn't just a throwaway line uttered early in a bar scene. It's an epigraph.
Unfortunately relies on unoriginal plotting techniques to convey the story of an investigative journalist attempting to expose racial injustices in a society coming to grips with the newly introduced edicts of apartheid.
A solid work of classical storytelling.
...an engaging look at an important moment in history...
Has to be one of the campiest sequels in history but Warren Oates and Pam Grier are priceless! But definitely an acquired taste and not for those easily offended
