    Forgot how much I love this unique bit of storytelling.

    The pacing and stakes keep ramping up the whole story. Everything feels perfectly out of control, grimy and intense.

    Usually I find that too stressful, and would rather go pick a lemon from a lemon tree, but here it’s entertaining and makes me reflective,  The action has a beating heart and is thoughtfully built on the challenging subtext of Apartheid in Johannesburg. You don’t often see films of this caliber…
