Aro Recommended Stander

 

Canada / South Africa 2003, 116 minutes
Dir. Bronwen Hughes
Rating: [M]
Genres: Action/Adventure

 

Aroview: The true story of South Africa's most famous bank-robber of the 1970s, a white police officer (Jane) who wearied of being an Apartheid enforcer and secretly turned to a violent form of political comment and wealth redistribution, then cheekily offering to investigate his own crimes!

Propelled by a swaggering central performance and enough moral rough edges to evoke the Boer legend, this crackles up the midway point before resolving into a more conventional thriller. Still, with a unique tale to tell and a moody atmosphere, it's one for connoisseurs and the curious alike.
