Critic Reviews

A South African thriller haunted by the ghosts of many Hollywood blockbusters past, Indemnity trades plausibility and originality for a worthy substitute: a great deal of fun.

The final product more than overcomes its weaknesses.

It’s not half bad, with a couple of decent fights — and a few where the fight choreographer’s instructions are a bit too obvious — and a fine finale, the scenes that come after two or three “explanations” too many.

This is a B-movie with the pretensions of a prestige drama; and frankly, the less ambitious version would’ve likely been better.
