I liked this movie because it raises your thoughts to, what if? At the same token while i watch this movie i fell dirty and gross because it takes place in the slums of Johannesburg. The prawns favorite food is cat food whic also makes me sick so i recommend if you have a weak stomache to avoid this movie.
