Double Echo

Talk about underrated!

Paul, a former policeman with more than his fair share of baggage, gets pulled into the very complicated lives of a set of people in the Cape Winelands. He's going to regret his decision to hang out there for a few days . . .

The shelter he gets for changing a wealthy-but-shady businessman's tyre is full of murky depths. More than one sexy girl is interested in him, but those passions are fraught with danger. Soon Paul and the viewer are caught up in a sunlit film noir, the first of its kind in the South African film industry if I'm not mistaken.

This one had me on the edge of my seat on a few occasions. Compared to the clichéd cinematic blockbusters of course it's more modest given the budget - but there's something real to it that the over-the-top extravaganzas can never achieve.

Liberally seasoned with tension, temptation, secrets and sleight of hand!
