I Am All Girls

Not your best Sunday afternoon matinee but a film worth watching if simply to make you think about modern day slavery and human trafficking.

Starts off with a misconception, the criminal's, arrested in 1994 , had his testimony not censured by the Apartheid government in South Africa but by the incoming ANC government. Easy blame Apartheid for this appalling act of censure.

Difficult in places but sadly a theme recurrent in every Society to a greater or lesser degree. Who knows way West going be legalised rather than criminalised.

This movie got unfair reviews but only just. There's lots of elements within the film that are supposedly meant to be good viewing, emotional and teary but it's almost doesn't quite come off. Unfair reviews but could have been better.

An unpleasant subject matter turned into quite a good thriller/vigalante film. Inspired by true events and the shocking statistics in the end credits make for disturbing and grim reading. Well acted without falling into the buddy movie scenario, the bond between the leads becomes quite real rather than a scripted movie, you can feel the sadness in their hearts which governs and justifies their actions. A disturbing film, says quite a lot about the evil that is in the world today.

This movie had a lot if potential but somehow missed the mark. The acting was decent, the script reasonable but somehow it just came across somewhat flat. It is worth viewing but just doesn't give you the impact it should.

At the time of this review, "I Am All Girls" had a rating of 4.9. That's pathetic, given the horrific subject matter as well as execution. The all around acting was very good as was the writing, cinematography and story. And, as this movie showed, revenge is best when served with a side dish of whoop ass. To be fair, this is no "The Godfather", "Casablanca" or "Amadeus." What it is, though, is a raw, visceral, in your face, unapologetic crime thriller that grabs you by the cajones and doesn't let go. Recommended.
