Catch a Fire

Director: Phillip Noyce

Cast: Tim Robbins, Bonnie Mbuli, Derek Luke, Mncedisi Shabangu, Bonnie Henna

A true-life political thriller set in l980s South Africa revolving around oil refinery foreman Patrick Chambusso (Luke) who was imprisoned along with his wife (Henna).

Though neither was involved in politics.

Patrick fights back against the system while in the background there lurks police chief Nic Vos (Robbins).

Heavy going at times, but anything with the excellent Robbins in it is always worth watching.

Star Rating: 3/5
