★★★ · 70's film which was atypical · slugs and urchins · 2009-08-07
considering the brutality and cruelty used by the South African-apartheid regime this must have been very controversial, and now the roles are reversed; the cop who's dedication to his job above all is the heel while the "terrorist" is the hero, and the true freedom fighters were fighting apartheid. interesting film with some unique plot twists
