I got your boy right here......

Warning: Spoilers
Vusi returns to the South African village he left as a young to bury his father.

He meets up with his brother Ernest, who tells him their other brother Stephen couldn't be contacted.

Vusi goes to Johannesburg to find him, but at first can only find his neighbour, Karin, a stripper.

Vusi proceeds to learn how conditions have changed since the end of apartheid, not always for the better......

Ice Cube takes a trip, and its not long into the film before he could be anywhere. I mean S. Africa has some beautiful locations, but no, we focus on Cube and how many times he has a gun pointed to his head.

He searches for his brother, who owes some money to special guest star Rhames, and takes a very wooden Hurley along for the ride ( this proves that Austin Powers was a one off)' a very long and boring ride.

If this tries to deliver any sort of political message, it fails, because the characters are just so unlikable, even the faceless girlfriend of Cube.

All people seem to do is kill, and take drugs in Dangerous Ground world, and the only decent people kill goats.

Its really a pig of a film, but the supporting cast are really good, and really make your blood boil.

On the plus side its the best film ever to feature Ving Rhames making chicken noises come the end...
