Collision

Actions have there reactions in this story set against the backdrop of a modern evolving South Africa where the consequences leave the players with few victories pursuing there goals. Well worth a watch.

Set in South Africa, this is a terrific thriller.

I enjoyed the South African dynamic, with the multi-lungual environment.

Given the 'posh' girl teen rebel element, I found this totally believable. I like all the characters, just far away from the usual West Coast/East Coast/London clichés we see too often. For me, at least, this is a thrilling and welcome change.

All 3 stars are for camera work. This was a terrible movie that made almost no sense plot wise or for character choices.

Anyone rating this higher than a 5 was part of the film crew or affiliated with production in someway.

The last third or so was basically a remake of American History X, but with Africans and Nigerians.

Please, if you have self respect, do yourself a favour and watch something else.

I did the job for you guys. Please don't do it to yourselves.

This movie is a bad, really really bad copy of Taken. The acting was awful and the script didn't have any cohesion at all. For real in some parts I thought I was watching two movies at the same time.

'Collision' does contain some rather pedestrian acting and arguably clumsy editing, but it has far more merit than a series of harsh reviews would suggest.

The opening device of presenting the final crash and the dark progression of events create a mood of bleak inevitability which is, in itself, a comment on the social and political plight of South Africa today. It's a borrowing of the late Renaissance 'Spanish Tragedy' concept in which the personal faults of the main characters combine with circumstances to bring about the final catastrophe. The fact that the audience can 'see it coming' creates a sense of helplessness among them.

It's a good effort - not perfect, but definitely not deserving of the 'put downs' it's receiving!
