    Storyline

    Edit
    Entrapped in his apartment, Randal Hendricks, a recent paraplegic, is given a gift of binoculars by his devoted girlfriend, Pam. But Randal is in financial debt to Emmie, a sadistic loan shark, and when he witnesses a powerful criminal, named Lawyer, commit murder while observing his neighbours through binoculars, he initiates a treacherous blackmail scheme. Involving Warren, his halfwit friend with unabashed lust for Pam, is probably going to cost him, but with few people to turn to, Randal does it anyway and as circumstances become more complicated, Pam is embroiled in the unravelling chain of events. Before long, a detective, named Gail February comes snooping around the neighbourhood, looking for the missing corrupt cop - her partner. As Lawyer begins his own investigation in an attempt to find his blackmailer, Emmie compounds the pressure of his looming deadline, and Detective February's investigation draws her ever closer to Randal, the wheelchair-bound Randal must rely on the physical capabilities of his reluctant girlfriend to see their plan through. With deception and greed around every corner, what follows is a thrilling ride that puts both of their lives in mortal danger. —Nosipho Dumisa

    9/10
    Intense, unpredictable film.
    Irshaad Ally gives an extraordinary performance in "Number 37." He plays a paraplegic man who is trapped in his Cape Town apartment. His wife gives him a pair of binoculars to help him get through this hard time. Since he received the binoculars, he has been observing his apartment neighbors all day, every day. When he witnesses a murder, he begins to blackmail the killers for money he needs to pay off. This film is intense, unpredictable, and had me constantly on the edge of my seat. Highly recommend!!
