A Screambox original:
Cape Town, South Africa, 2050: Due to an economiccollapse, the middle
class has been pretty much been eliminated and the town is populated by
just the very rich and the (now) homeless - a problem shifty major Mostart
(Warrick Grier) claims to take care of, but he's very vague about how he
plans to do just that. Ronald (Sean Cameron Michael) is a homeless with
a heart of gold, so when he sees pretty Alex (Donna Cormack-Thomson) being
threatened by two (Sidwell Diamont Ralitsoele, Tuks Tad Lungu) of crime
kingpin (Suraya Rose Santos) gang, he helps her selflessly, even trades
her for a battery he has spent all morning stealing (batteries are rare
but essential in future Cape Town), and takes her in with his little gang,
his best friend Chef (Joe Vaz), crackheads Wors (Lloyd Martinez Newkirk)
and Pap (Shuraigh Meyer) and the quite crazy 2-Bit (Gary Green) who only
talks to his imaginative friend, a little blue alien (voiced by Ryan
Kruger).However, trouble is not far behind, and soon enough, Alex is
kidnapped by the very goons Alex as "bought" her from. And her
only idea to get out of this mess is to promise Rat King the largest
battery out there, that of a police drone, which she and Ronald and the
others soon go to capture. There's only a tiny little problem: The drones,
unbeknowst to anyone, are part of the mayors solution for the homeless
problem: They spit out an aerosol that melts those who breathe it in alive
... A sort-of sequel to the 1987 cult movie Street
Trash, if more in spirit than in actual story, the new film has
many of the qualities of the origina, it's crude, it's crass, it's gross -
but it's also pretty darn funny! And while I admit the humour isn't always
on the refined side of things and doesn't even always hit the mark (but
more often than not for sure), there's at the same time hardly a dull
moment in this movie. Basically a film best watched with a few mates and a
few beers, as this one sure has written party movie all over it, and
succeeds in delivering on its promise,.
