It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

More like a channel 5 Sunday afternoon film if your bored, still a decent watch but i wouldn't pay top dollar to see it, worth it if you borrow it from a mate, or see it on the telly on channel 5 on a Sunday afternoon if your bored kinda just went over that but i need filler for the review

Please give the film time to start rolling and it will pull you in. The story has it's gruesome parts but these are very much needed to demonstrate the emotional journey which it will take you on. I found myself welling up at the end of the film and I am not one for being like that. If you do watch & enjoy this film then I would recommend watching The Intouchables 2011 (not the untouchables) & City of God. This film has a gentle pace and you will find that you might start liking the Thug, you will find yourself questioning your morals and your view of justice as the film progresses. I don't want to spoil the movie so just watch and enjoy!

A brilliant story told about life in the townships of South Africa. Giving the view of what life is like for some in SA. Displaying economic and social problems that part of the world provide. Displaying the best of Independent film making. Acting of super class level. So truful and compelling. The film on site locations really gave the whole film a sense of realism. At times a difficult film to watch because of the nature of the film and it realistic feel and look. So great that the film was performed not in English. It made the story that more gritty. Style of the film put you in with cast. Moment in this film were so powerful it left many in tears. A very important film - A MUST SEE.

Tsotsi directed by Gavin Hood was a story based in Africa, showing a different side that many people do not realize that a lot of that country has many issues that are addressed throughout this movie. In Tsotsi we start off following Tsotsi, who is a young adult probably around the age of sixteen or eighteen, and his buddies Aap, Boston, and Butcher. These four partners commit crimes to makes money called "jobs", the first job we as the viewers get to witness is when Tsotsi and the three friends follow a high roller man into a subway and rob him, and while robbing him they kill this innocent man. Later on through the story Tsotsi is on his own, alone and kind of nervous, he sees a lady pull up in a nice house and is locked out of her gate, so while she isn't paying attention Tsotsi steals her car as she runs toward him he shoots her. Little did he know that a baby was in that back seat, at first Tsotsi was about to leave the baby, but decided to take him to his house. As the movie progress you see that Tsotsi grows into a different young man, with the responsibilities of the child he has taken, has shaped him in a way that helps him understand life and the meaning to it. However, Tsotsi has to make the biggest decision of his life, which is to take the baby back to its rightful family. In doing this he decides to take the baby to his mother and father, by turning himself in, but as you witness something new in Tsotsi as the parents ask for the baby it is hard for him to let go, because how attached he had become to the baby or "his new life".
