Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

The Fast and the Furious star Paul Walker is back behind the wheel for this man-on-the-run thriller, though it's a long way from the high-octane pyrotechnics of the blockbuster franchise that made his name. Shot entirely within the confines of a rental car, the story follows Walker's American ex-con as he arrives in Johannesburg desperate to patch things up with his ex-partner. Unfortunately for Walker, he's the wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time, as the vehicle he hires involves him in kidnapping and police corruption, making him a wanted man. The novel concept of shooting the whole film from inside an automobile is certainly intriguing and adds to the pressure-cooker nature of the story, while Walker's transformation from repentant man into reluctant hero is believable. Also, his fish-out-of-water status - he doesn't even know what side of the road to drive on - supplies interest as we experience a stranger's-eye view of the vibrant hustle and bustle of the city's suburbs and townships. Short, taut and with cracking car chases, Michael Mukunda Dewil's film proves that low budget doesn't always mean low quality.
