Cinematically on point, one of the best Drama's to come out of South Africa. Shows allot of promise in the potential output of the region. Untapped potential for sure. Performances and pacing where perfect. You can feel the references, yet it still feels like it has its own voice. Worth a viewing absolutely. In many ways a story that has been told before. However the unique setting and cultural mix are unexpected i'm sure for an international audience especially. The villain is cold and calculated, yet extremely disturbing. The bond between the brothers is relatable, yet considered. In the wrong hands this film could have been stock standard, it was anything but. Watch it, you wont be sorry.
