Catch a Fire
A Movie Preview |
|
 |
The trailer says this movie is based on a true story, so I’ll take
its word for it. In any case, the trailer shows Derek Luke playing
Patrick Chamusso. It’s South Africa in a time when things aren’t
that great for the black population, in fact it pretty much sucks,
but he’s been flying under the radar just trying to raise a family
while working at the oil refinery. When there’s an explosion at the
refinery, he gets taken in as a suspect, and while being held, and
in trying to make him spill any beans, the bad folks fuck with
Patrick’s wife. Low and behold they are both let go, but Patrick now
knows that he has to now stand up for the rights of those being
persecuted, so he takes the cause of the folks fighting the
oppressors, because he knows that is the only way the blacks in
South Africa can finally be recognized as people.
This looks like a really good movie, and Tim Robbins as the
Secret Police dude looks great, but things are getting busy on the
movie front (as they always do in the fall), so I have to sometimes
decide between good films and popular films. I would like to catch
this one, though, no matter what.
That’s it for this preview! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
