Catch a Fire (2006)

Synopsis: A hard working man in apartheid era's South Africa is unjustly imprisoned; his wife and friends suffer as well. After he is released he joins the rebel forces.

Appraisal: On the technical side, I have no negative remarks to make about this. I think it will please most those people who are always yearning for films which deal with social and political unrest. The psychological characterization in this kind of film often comes across as fake or unconvincing, or shallow; this film is no exception.

Rating: 43
