Indemnity

"Indemnity" film is somewhat a fine film. The plot is good, the acting, the directing and the original score are also good too. It's kind of interesting. And thriller thing actually worked. It indeed made me thrilled. When I was watching it, my feet got cold and excited to see what happened next and how it was going to end. So, I'd say it's kind of a good film.

That being said, I still feel like it's a bit slow and kind of deliberately stretching the plot making it a bit longer than it should be. And also, I don't quite like the ending. It's like it's cut off in the middle. The director should have concluded by showing some more happy scenes. (This is just my personal opinion. As the one who likes to see happy ending, I really want it to end with happy things.)

About the rating, initially, I was going to give 7 stars until I saw some things that I don't want to see in any films. So, my final rating landed on 5 stars.

Anyway, even though it has some things I don't like, I kind of enjoyed it. So, I'd say it's worth to watch it.

Well acted and executed local production shot in Cape Town, which is always a plus. A twist on myriad US based pharmeceutical company evil intent stories, the centre of action involves an Africa based plot so it is refreshing to see this continent producing films so watchable. Great job by all concerned and I think it represents an example of African talent on par with the rest of the world.

South Africans are more likely to find this movie interesting, especially those living in Cape Town. Real thrill and action packed film which is based around an ex fireman who gets framed by elite government officials.

Nothing else to do on a Saturday night because I lost my mojo. I decided to watch this movie. Nice to see my South African brothers in a film. I never seen a South African movie.

My review...

The first 40mins could have been told in 20mins.

A conspiracy thriller it is..a lot of action. Good fight scenes. My question is....

Do the police put handcuffs in the front of a person in South Africa?

For some reason, that visual really bothered me.

No pun intended - only we ourselves really know that. Sometimes even that isn't true. Now how can we know - maybe we do, but from the outside, how are others able to tell what person we are? And that is true for any character we see in the movie. We are thrown into a situtation and we experience it, the way our main character is.

So there are a few things that may be surprising ... maybe you could see most of it coming from a mile away ... but even if this is the case, you can have fun with the movie and its theme. It is low budget and it has some neat elements in it. Acting is good and the suspense is high enough for it to be thrilling until the end. Twists and turns included ... you may not like how this turns out ... but then again, the movie is consistent.
