06/12/2010 Had great potential, but was very disappointing in the end. The basic premise and vibe of the movie was great, and the movie oozed charm throughout. Cinematography was excellent. However, the plot fell apart pretty quickly, and turned into a random, contrived, far-fetched, inconsistent, badly-paced mess. The acting was also pretty amateurish. I really wanted to like this movie, due to its heart being in the right place, but the plot, especially, and acting let it down. See more 02/19/2010 Como una imitación ?de ciudad de dios?, pero con algo que molesta, no se si sea la cursilería o lo forzado de la historia o las malas actuaciones. Me chocó. See more 02/13/2009 Great cinematography and story. Realistic in its presentation of the struggles of racism in Cape Town. I really enjoyed this one. His little videos were amazing. Several subplots of morality and doing the right thing. Always gives us a lesson. See more 09/01/2008 super mooi gefilmd, prachtig verhaal! See more 08/07/2008 mükemmel bir film seyredin mutlaka... See more 06/16/2008 This movie had some great shots...and had a pretty good story, but got a little cheesy/politically correct about racism...kinda spoiled how i had hoped it would end. But worth the watch!!! See more Read all reviews
