A well crafted and powerful drama that never compromises. There really isn't much more that needs to be said. This is the type of movie Hollywood rarely makes. A movie with well developed characters, telling a gripping story, that leads to a meaningful ending.
This is the type of product that comes from integrity, professionalism, and hard work. There's nothing particularly flashy or preachy. A strong compelling story that moves well and is believable.

The officers are shown in detail as the investigation quickly evolves and then consumes them.
At it's strongest the movie does an amazing job of presenting a believable South Africa. One that is moral, realistic, and hopeful.
