ZULU is a surprisingly decent and hard-handed crime thriller that hails from South Africa. The story involves a pair of mismatched cops, each with their own personal problems, who find themselves investigating bizarre and violent murders in the locality. Their path leads them to a dark conspiracy involving mind-altering drugs, a government cover-up, and a very sinister organisation. Be warned, this is a graphic movie packed with sex and violence in a way reminiscent of GAME OF THRONES.
It's also a very good one. Orlando Bloom has grown as an actor over the years and gives a solid, likeable turn here. Forest Whitaker steals all his scenes as the older cop with a dark secret and shows that he might have lost his weight but he's lost none of his talent with it. The twisty-turny story piles on the tension and builds to a satisfyingly cathartic climax. It's a thumbs-up from me.
