Tsotsi is an award-winning 2005 South African film. I watched it on Paramount+.
trailer:
Roger Ebert opens his positive review with this: "How strange, a movie where a bad man becomes better, instead of the other way around. "Tsotsi," a film of deep emotional power, considers a young killer whose cold eyes show no emotion, who kills unthinkingly, and who is transformed by the helplessness of a baby." Rotten Tomatoes has an audience consensus score of 86%.

DeleteI hope this movie makes its way to Netflix. Sounds good.
ReplyDeleteThere are too many different streaming services.
DeleteI will give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it. I would never've tried it if it hadn't been on that list, but I'm glad I came across it.
DeleteRented this Netflix DVD 2006 and still remember it was an absolutely excellent movie!! :)
ReplyDeleteI was impressed, just way behind the curve in finding movies lol
DeleteYou have to keep in mind I have been disabled and housebound since 2005--LOL! Netflix was an answer to a prayer. ;)
DeleteIt can be a blessing, can't it! Wonders to watch without ever having to leave the house :)
DeleteI like that -- a bad man becomes better. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteIt was an interesting evolution. I hope you like it.
DeleteIf nothing else, it sounds intriguing. I am in catch up mode right now, so am glad I don't have that service or I would be tempted to watch it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I went on my one-week staycation I just threw my hands up at the thought of trying to catch up. Don't stress yourself. Sit on your lovely patio, look out over your lovely herbs, and breathe :)
