Collision (2022)
Not perfection, bit definitely worth a watch.

'Collision' does contain some rather pedestrian acting and arguably clumsy editing, but it has far more merit than a series of harsh reviews would suggest.
The opening device of presenting the final crash and the dark progression of events create a mood of bleak inevitability which is, in itself, a comment on the social and political plight of South Africa today. It's a borrowing of the late Renaissance 'Spanish Tragedy' concept in which the personal faults of the main characters combine with circumstances to bring about the final catastrophe. The fact that the audience can 'see it coming' creates a sense of helplessness among them.
It's a good effort - not perfect, but definitely not deserving of the 'put downs' it's receiving!
