I have no idea whether there is any truth to the portrayal of a small number of Zulu tribesmen as members of a brotherhood of hitmen, but I always watch hitmen movies to learn more about their profession. I even have a list of hitmen films here, and I found this new one on Netflix, where, to my amazement, hitmen movies are now a category. So I have a long list of other hitmen to learn about. I will say that this one strays off the beaten path, not only because it was produced in South Africa and relays the story of Zulu hitmen but also because it attempts to offer some social commentary as well. Not a great film, but always interesting to see how delusional people who become contract killers can be in thinking that their profession is somehow noble or honorable or anything but repulsive, to be perfectly frank. I have noticed a recurring theme in many hitmen movies: there's always someone who is trying to leave the profession and then gets pulled back in and somehow thinks that he is redeeming himself for doing one good deed after having slaughtered dozens or even hundreds of people for a tiny bundle of cash.
