My wife liked the film, but I can't rate it as average or above for at least three reasons. One is that the film is rather boring. It is more like Phone Booth or other movies with a single character that does everything in the movie, with little or no real acting from other people. In this case the cast was so small as to call this a Point of View movie. The second reason is the trailer and casting, both designed to make the film seem something that it is not. They used the actor from Fast and Furious, then they showed a lot of car action scenes. Those are really not what the movie is about and they are not even that great. And I loathe bait-and-switch. The third reason has to be the sound montage. Loud special effects together with low volume speech alternates with loud shouting or music, making the film really hard to enjoy.
Bottom line: even with a bit of Die Antwoord music at the end of the film, this was a boring and hard to enjoy experience. The story itself was good, actually believable, but it was too little for such a mess of a production. Oh, and Naima McLean is pretty hot.
