6/10
A very good, longer-than-necessary film, that leaves you hungry for more. Go to Full Review Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal 09/14/2023
This is a well-paced thriller that captivates audiences with a mystery and high stakes. However, at a little over two hours, it loses steam in the middle when it enters into a formulaic loop of finding evidence and being threatened. Go to Full Review Jonita Davis The Black Cape (Medium) 09/13/2023
Part of the mystery in the film is the scandal itself. Pay special attention to flashback news videos played in the film. They are much more than research. Also, watch the characters who keep escaping harm. The good guys are never as clean as they look. Go to Full Review Josiah Teal Film Threat 09/11/2023
7.5/10
The attention to real-life whistleblowers drives home the story’s relevance even more. Gabriel’s connections to reality make the thriller more than an intriguing pseudo-spy story but a call for real-world change. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 09/11/2023
4/5
All of the actors are well cast here, with S’Thandiwe Kgoroge deserving of particular notice for her outstanding supporting work. The film is also stylishly shot throughout. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
