About
If you like hard-edged gangster thrillers with constant double-crosses and a raw Kinshasa backdrop, this may hit the spot; Not for you if you want likable heroes or minimal sexual violence, like in Outrage.
Pros: gritty crime energy; strong local setting; solid performances | Cons: thin character depth; drifts mid-story; heavy sex and violence
