Endgame

While there have been many movies made about apartheid in South Africa, few have been able to capture the intensity of the ideologies behind both sides of the issue as this compelling drama, directed by Pete Travis (Vantage Point). People without a degree in South Africa studies may find it a little tough to get into because of the film’s assumption that you already know a lot of South African history, but the impeccable cast quickly gains our confidence enough for us to follow them as they remind us all that wars are not always begun and ended on the battlefield, but in the boardroom.
