Just a fine film..., 6 April 2000
9/10
Author: Tyrone Steels II (tyrone2@ejave.com) from Detroit, MI

Bopha! is just a fine film with stellar acting. Once again Danny Glover delivers a great performance the worthy of Oscar or Golden Globe and he just doesn't get it. The struggle of one man's fight to be true to his native land or to the ruling establishment is poignantly portrayed. Alfre Woodard and Malcolm McDowell turn in good performances also.
