Mute African Seeks Employment

Jobman is born in South Africa. Having no tongue, he is teased by the other kids in town, and runs away. As an adult, he returns to get a job in his home town, but people are sceptical to his return. Jobman goes postal.

I saw this film once at my cousin's, and he warned me it would be dull as hell. He had tried to watch it twice, but he had fallen asleep both times. And so we sat down to watch it, and we both fell asleep. Some years later, we decided that we would watch the whole thing, and we actually managed to stay awake, only to make the conclusion "This film stinks like last year's herring".
