Synopsis

Vusi Madlazi returns to the South African village he left as a young boy (he was organizing against apartheid, and left in fear of his life) to bury his father. He meets up with his brother Ernest, who tells him their other brother Stephen couldn't be contacted. Vusi goes to Johannesburg to find him, but at first can only find his neighbor/girlfriend, Karin, a stripper. Vusi proceeds to learn how conditions have changed since the end of apartheid, not always for the better for black men.

LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Rock Salt This film is extremely unimpressive, sorry Lawrence Gordon Clarke. I was in it too and played a bodyguard and had a fight scene with Robe Lowe, plus another scene.I really wanted to like it, truly I did, but it is just so painful to watch.It could have been so much better if the acting had been up to scratch. There were times on set that I thought I was witnessing children in a play ground running about shouting "Bang Bang Your'e dead"! Very disappointing to say the least, especially as I wanted to show the film off to my friends and family because I was in it.
seamus-mcgillicuddy OK, there are so many things wrong with this movie, I don't know where to start. I have been reading Jack Higgins for probably a decade and a half, so I am quite familiar with his work and his characters. First off, Rob Lowe???? Good actor, bad accent. Oh, wait, I forgot, he can't do an Irish accent. Also, Sean Dillon is described as a nondescript figure, as far as his build goes. The only qualities that make him the man we love is his 'Fair, almost white hair and his pale blue eyes'. Lowe, obviously, has neither of them. Well, almost the eyes... MAYBE. Hannah Bernstein, an intellectual Scotland Yard inspector. They got that right. However, Jack Higgins repeatedly dresses her in trouser suits. Brigadier Charles Ferguson, always in an unkempt state, dress-wise, except for his Guards tie. Also, the movie would've been much better had they followed the book a little more closely. The way which Ferguson and Dillon meet was in a different book altogether. And they didn't even get it right! The initial meeting of Asta and Dillon, again, not accurate. The arrangement made for reservations at Loch Dhu???? NOT EVEN CLOSE! In other words, as a Jack Higgins fan, I was embarrassed by this movie.
chrnaess This movie was really enjoyable. Although the plot wasn`t extremely interesting at times, the film had other qualities like some of the settings and beautiful women. Dapkunaite and Deborah Moore get a high score for there beauty, especially Dapkunaite was very charming. The music score was also fine and contributed as well.The movie was 2h 40 min long but it was fine all the way through.This was the first of Rob Lowes involment in Jack Higgin`s novels to be filmed, he showed in both film he`s a fine actor.
Don-64 I tend to rate movies twice: once for technical merit and once for how much I enjoyed it. I gave On Dangerous Ground a high enjoyment rating ( I definitely enjoyed it.) but a low technical merit rating. (Some of the acting was weak and the story line was a bit difficult to track.) but I liked it!!
