The Shakedown' Becomes SA's First-Ever Amazon-Produced Film we read the article and decided to watch it and I can confirm this movie was hilarious and really well made and exceeded our expectations.

We chuckled all the way through at the dark humor and laugh out loud moments.

It was really well cast including Jack Parow and Julia Anastasopoulos who played great characters.

The movie embodied South African humor through and through with many nuances for a local audience.

The story line was good and fast paced, the sets and scenery were also great.

Highly recommended for an adult audience streaming on Amazon.

I'm surprised by the low ratings and glad I didn't read before watching because I enjoyed the show.

It showed various perspectives from the Sackler family and employees, the pharma reps, the doctors, the whistleblowers, the patients and then the addicts.

I thought it was filmed well, there were comedic moments not to poke fun at the subject matter which is very sad but more at the impotence of the law makers and greed of the Sackler family and it's employees and those who jumped ship.

I thought the ending was a bit rushed I'd have liked more epilogue but overall we binged over 2 days as it was very watchable.

I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before I watched this movie otherwise I wouldn't have watched it and I really enjoyed it! I'm surprised by so many bad reviews from others.

I laughed out loud so many times. It was a modern Rom Com with a bit of a message behind it about cultures, religious differences and generational differences.

The storyline is cool and the movie ran at a good pace with a good soundtrack.

I also liked the cast and characters who were funny and believable. It's definitely an easy watch.

Definitely watch this movie and decide for yourself, don't be put off first by other reviews.
