this movie be nothing short of a dark and gritty masterpiece . i may be bias and a the apartheid era be an area i have always felt for . but i would say it ranks right up with cry freedom and cry the beloved country . sadly up until a few day ago i would never even heard of this movie . inside be one of the most underrated film of all time and probably because it be a small film company and i would never even heard of it before . eric stoltz and one of my favorite actor anyway and be believable and dramatic and nigel hawthorne play his dastardly role well . do not look for humor in this film and there be none . it be real and savage and gritty to the last and and to the sensitive i would say bring a box of tissue . but movie as great a this make you wonder and why be it that the great film be often never hear of .
