In a year full of structurally similar films about events taking place today, Catch a Fire didn't receive the attention it deserved for exploring what, as far as most people assume, is yesterday's issue. That's too bad: Not only is Fire a thrilling and refreshingly human-powered film, but it's also based on a true story – and one with surprisingly strong parallels to today's headlines. Bonnie Mbuli and Sithembiso Khumalo also star.
Extras: Director/cast commentary, deleted scenes.
Grade: A
