I didnt like it.

Not very well layed out.
It might be ok watching it if you dont stay in SA.

Case in point: Old Paul walker leave the Airport( its the bus station in JHB)
he leaves the "airport" and is on the lower level of the double decker highway then in the next frame he is on top on the double decker highway.

Probably because that's where they came from :fencelook:

Watched this movie, I guess because we so used to watching American movies that we expect the locals to keep up with the rest of the world when it comes to acting. :fencelook:

Hey guys... cut the filmmakers some slack...

I for one make films and I know how bloody hard it is to get a story moving. Sure they reused many locations to try make Paul Walker look lost, and for the guys who live in JHB, we will know that one second he's in central JHB, next second he;s in Alexandria etc etc.

Look past that shit guys, because the same thing is done with USA film, british films, or any other foreign country films. We just don't know the Lay out of the city so we don't notice.

Another thing, we hate our own accent on TV. Its a fact... yet overseas, they love it... and to be honest, this film wasn't made for an SA audience. Overall, I think the story was pretty good, and Paul Walker was convincing.

The film isn't shit. For a South African film, its actually pretty darn good in comparison to the shit that's come out over the years.

So I appluad the filmmakers, apart from the producer, he's a complete wanker, you have my permission to tell him the film is shit, but apart form him, I really think they did a good job. You guys don't realize how hard it is to get a film made in this country. in USA, 1 episode of Game of Thrones is R95 million. If we get a film made for anything near R4 million, its a miracle... Often films here are made for way less. Except Shuster films. He has his own film industry here, he just has a crazed following and can spend R30 million on a film... yet where that R30 million goes? I have no idea... Cause its clearly not on screen.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you all know that you need to just take these films with a pinch of salt...

South African audiences are overly critical of anything that is South African. You guys need to chill out hey...

If the movie was short in the USA most of the guys here would have noticed and commented on the number BMW's used instated of the locations and layout :nonono:
