Review: Crossing Borders (Directed by Chris Wilson)

Synopsis: "Bhongo Mhlope, a South African immigration agent is on the hunt for a Zimbabwean foreign national who has been scheduled for deportation. He calls in the help of Benny, a police detective and old friend. After the successful apprehension of his 'target', Bhongo and Benny discuss a greater menace growing in the town of George."

Reviewer: Love Kassim.

I love the music in the background because it takes the movie further and is purposeful throughout.

The color choice is spot on since it made the film vibrant and lifts the spirit of the movie 

The camera angles and lighting, especially when the two were running in a field in slow motion, gave it a gripping experience.

The actors did justice to their roles and this film placed them in a recognizable social context.

I love that the film utilized short, instantaneous and effective scenes.

Politically, the film shows the aspect of Immigration and deportation especially of criminals in South Africa and the struggles and lengths the authorities take to ensure criminal gangs are dealt with.

An intriguing piece that left me yearning for more.
