Quick review

The good
Director Phillip Noyce has a proven record in intelligent political thrillers, Luke takes another step towards the Hollywood A-list, Chamusso’s life story was made for the cinema
The bad
We learn nothing new about the brutal apartheid regime, Robbins’ pantomime villain performance, the ending fizzles out with a whimper rather than the expected bang
Verdict
What we have ended up with is a worthy but dull spectacle
