LETHAL WEAPON meets TRAINING DAY
14 November 2022
Maybe not entirely crime film, but an unusual scheme in this South African movie where you have no really lead character, no hero, only characters for whom you wonder what feeling you can have. It is question of a serial killer intrigue mixed up with a rogue cops element. You have convincing performances and situations too. It is however a bit slow, but again, this is a worth watching movie where you can also watch as a buddy movie, a White and Black cop working together as a team, without being entirely LETHAL WEAPON either. It is of course question of racial matters in this South African feature; this explains the buddy scheme with two different races characters. A very short tribute to QT's RESERVOIR DOGS in the scene of the serial killer dancing around the car trunk with a gasoline can; remember Michael Madsen sequence dancing besides the tortured cop. Good ending.
