    Meant well from what may seem like another routine theme
    THRILLER/ DRAMA

    The time, it's supposed to take place during the 'apartheid' era in South Africa, when at the opening what appears to be a bank robbery, before the movie transitions back in time a little when four freedom fighters of Calvin Khumalo(Thabo Rametsi), Aldo Erasmus(Stefan Erasmus), Mbali Terra Mabunda(Noxolo Dlamini), and Masego(Vincent Mahlape) were attempting to infiltrate a gasoline line. When they realized they've been set up, they would then go on the run, with the South African police chasing them, driving through the city streets of the downtown area. Pushing them into a corner and run inside into an open bank, and it is there they keep the entire bank hostage. And it was at this point, the leader of this group, Calvin is butting heads with the captain (Arnold Vosloo) who is in charge of this entire operation by making some demands such as to reveal who amongst group is the 'mole', the release of Nelson Mendela and to provide them safe passage by providing them with a helicopter among other things.

    Freedumb fighters criminals and narratives
    A dough of BAD script. Lies, and make believe mixed together with a true crime story, that tried to make a loaf of a now proven sack of nonsence.

    Netflix should pleases stop making movies that create division through lies and false naratives. The story could have been told truthfully as a crime foiled by commendable police work. Criminals are Criminals and should never be glorified, especially for entertainment and profit.

    Powerful
    This is the story of what kicked off the downfall of a largely successful country into the hovel of violence and poverty it is today. A great lesson on what happens when you let communist "revolutionaries" take root in your country.
