Outside the Hollywood comfort zone

Wow! Hollywood is expanding and seeking out new environments. This time Orlando Bloom and Forest Whittaker are sent to South Africa - into a dark the sinister Apartheid leftovers.

Great acting by both of them. Great photo and great plot. Violent, although probably not violent enough to do the setting justice, and grim. Tough lives and tough country. No country for weak men.

Please make more of this kind. Please allow the actors from the Lord of The Ring, and such, to really show what they are capable of - instead of hiding behind special effects.

See it!

interesting backdrop of violent South Africa

In South Africa, Ali Sokhela (Forest Whitaker) is chief of the Serious and Violent Crime Unit in Cape Town. Detective Brian Epkeen (Orlando Bloom) is a drunken mess. His ex is with a rich guy and his son is looking for the child support. Detetive Dan Fletcher, Epkeen and Sokhela are investigating a dead young woman in the Botanical Gardens. She comes from a well-to-do white family. It leads them to a violent new gang with a new synthetic drug in a South Africa full of violence.

A violent South Africa is an interesting new location for a movie. It's out of the ordinary Hollywood movie and it serves well for a tense crime drama. However it is odd to see two Hollywood A-listers to be the lead. It's not as bothersome as I expected. Bloom is almost unrecognizable at the beginning. Whitaker does his usual good work. I don't particularly like the ultimate villain. It should be more a simple drug crime thriller. Instead, the movie takes a turn halfway through. The Bond villains and the evil plan are too over the top. It also makes the violent backdrop to be a manufactured fake thing both cinematically and also created by the drug in the story.

Hard-handed thriller

ZULU is a surprisingly decent and hard-handed crime thriller that hails from South Africa. The story involves a pair of mismatched cops, each with their own personal problems, who find themselves investigating bizarre and violent murders in the locality. Their path leads them to a dark conspiracy involving mind-altering drugs, a government cover-up, and a very sinister organisation. Be warned, this is a graphic movie packed with sex and violence in a way reminiscent of GAME OF THRONES.

It's also a very good one. Orlando Bloom has grown as an actor over the years and gives a solid, likeable turn here. Forest Whitaker steals all his scenes as the older cop with a dark secret and shows that he might have lost his weight but he's lost none of his talent with it. The twisty-turny story piles on the tension and builds to a satisfyingly cathartic climax. It's a thumbs-up from me.
