review: 'Endgame' and the fall of apartheid
October 22, 2009
Pete Travis directs the film as if it's the
next installment in the Jason Bourne series, and, for the
most part, that makes sense. However, you may find yourself
feeling a bit dyspeptic by the frenetic, paranoia-fueled camerawork
of much of the film. As the talks move toward the positive
conclusion we already know about, the camera slows to a more
comforting pace.
The performances are superb throughout, particularly those
of Miller, Hurt, Ejiofor and Clarke Peters, as Mandela. Also
superb, in small but key roles, are Derek Jacobi as Consolidated
Goldfields' chairman, and Timothy West as Pieter Botha, De
Klerk's old-school predecessor.
