    • Goofs
      When Ruby is attacked, Brian cuts his restraints with a large shard of glass from the window he just ran through. The window shattered into small fragments, as safety glass does, so no big piece would be available to do so.
    • Quotes

      Brian Epkeen: Yebo Baba.

      Ali Sokhela: You look like hell.

      Brian Epkeen: I'm happy to see you too.

    Lose your mind in South Africa
    Open your mind to a whole mindset apart from the US and find a dark movie with lost souls trying to find some redemption. Orlando Bloom is quite exceptional playing a lost cop with his captain Forrest Whitaker, another lost soul trying to find his forgiveness for crimes against South African blacks. There is a lose tie in regarding an apartheid program to eliminate or sterilize blacks, a true story if you research it. In the end Orlando Bloom's character finds trying to not use violence is his redemption but is forced into it. While Forrest Whitaker's character finds his redemption is to use violence to stop a horrendous plot. Frankly Bloom was terrific and as usual Whitaker blew me away as a wonderful actor totally underrated. His acting as a seasoned cop at the end really came through thou who could see Whitaker as a bit of an action guy !!!! I give it nine out of ten as it is hard to watch but you just can't stop. Seymour Phillip Hoffman and Forrest Whitaker, two way underrated actors who deserve more than they have.
