Finally got to see this movie last night. I was reluctant to watch it (memories of bad Saffer accents in Lethal Weapon spring to mind).
It was good - Hollywoodised in parts- but good. Leonardo's accent was passable (loved the slang he threw in there - Howzit China, Bru, Lekker).
Spotted Marius Weyers playing van der Kamp. (non speaking) Arnold Vosloo and a few others. I felt pretty homesick for the Cape.
Its not a movie to sit down and enjoy. Its Schindlers LIst for Africa - will shock and move you and in the end be stunned by it all. To quote a line from the movie
T.I.A - This Is Africa
