I have to agree with another reviewer on here. This one deserves much more attention than it received. It's not often that one gets surprised by a local offering and I suspect for some viewers it may even be a problem when it happens!
I remember watching DOUBLE ECHO and feeling like I was being treated like an adult. It's something that happens way too little nowadays, of course internationally too.
Although the characters are caught up in the events of a modern noir, not to mention a South African based one, they weren't stock figurines, the circumstances and pay-off weren't predictable and even the ending ... But no spoilers here. Suspenseful and great storytelling! And those actors were atypical and well worth watching.
I wish the local film industry would take more chances and treat us with more products that are less cookie-cutter and throw up some surprises.
