Short description

Set in Cape Town, South Africa, the story follows two detectives, Ali Sokhela and Brian Epkeen, as they investigate the brutal murder of a young woman. The discovery of a dangerous new drug in the victim's system leads the pair from impoverished townships to wealthy estates. As they uncover a vast trafficking network involving violent gangs and a powerful corporation, the investigation forces both men to confront personal traumas linked to the history of apartheid.

The film was directed by Jérôme Salle, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Julien Rappeneau. It is the fourth feature directed by Salle, following Anthony Zimmer, The Heir Apparent: Largo Winch, and Largo Winch II. The movie stars Forest Whitaker as Ali Sokhela and Orlando Bloom as Brian Epkeen, with supporting roles played by Conrad Kemp, Inge Beckmann, Tinarie Van Wyk-Loots, and Regardt van den Bergh.

Produced by Eskwad, Canal+, M6 Films, and Ciné+, the production had a budget of 16 million USD. Since its release in 2013, the film has maintained consistent audience reception, holding a rating of 6.7/10 on IMDb from 21,000 votes and a matching 6.7/10 on TMDB from 528 votes.
