This movie is just a front for you can ONLY guess what,..You KNOW it isn't an Israeli gal who is being tossed around by the indiginous of South Africa,..It's an English gal of course and of course her father is an evil person and yadda yadda yadda,. The story is only a front,. That's why you don;t see any LOW rating because even dumb people KNOW why this movie was made.
Ever get the feeling you shouldn't believe too many of the ratings posted here because they're probably associated/invested with/in the film, itself... well...that seems to be the case with this movie...it's a shame, too...because how many movies do we see here coming out of South Africa...it would be great if EVERY country could afford to tell their stories with the wealth behind them that Hollywood has...not that it makes ALL that much of a difference in the quality...lots of GREAT low budget movies out there. From EVERYwhere...
anyways...this has been a public service announcement...including to the administrators of imdb who can't do much about false reviews...
Please, if you have self respect, do yourself a favour and watch something else.
I did the job for you guys. Please don't do it to yourselves.
This movie is a bad, really really bad copy of Taken. The acting was awful and the script didn't have any cohesion at all. For real in some parts I thought I was watching two movies at the same time.
'Collision' does contain some rather pedestrian acting and arguably clumsy editing, but it has far more merit than a series of harsh reviews would suggest.
The opening device of presenting the final crash and the dark progression of events create a mood of bleak inevitability which is, in itself, a comment on the social and political plight of South Africa today. It's a borrowing of the late Renaissance 'Spanish Tragedy' concept in which the personal faults of the main characters combine with circumstances to bring about the final catastrophe. The fact that the audience can 'see it coming' creates a sense of helplessness among them.
It's a good effort - not perfect, but definitely not deserving of the 'put downs' it's receiving!
I enjoyed the South African dynamic, with the multi-lungual environment.
Given the 'posh' girl teen rebel element, I found this totally believable. I like all the characters, just far away from the usual West Coast/East Coast/London clichés we see too often. For me, at least, this is a thrilling and welcome change.
