ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

dckelley4342-296-666612 If you do the math, and you think of the time of this movie, 1990-1994 during the height of apartheid, which was FINALLY making the news, and the age of these courageous photographers recording history, and what I was doing at that age I'm embarrassed by myself. That part of the world was foreign to me. I was the same age as these men, but not a care in the world.The movie can be joyous, at times. But there's really nothing joyous about that era. And I think this movie speaks the truth. There were things that I didn't know about; the various parties that were against each other, trying to get to a free and fair election. The level of violence. The ineffectiveness of any kind of law-enforcement. Local newspapers afraid or an able to post photos of the truth, being afraid of seeming to choose a side. And these photojournalists, played amazingly by the actors who portrayed them, were real people. This is not fiction.While I was in a new job, new relationship, and buying a house. These people were literally dying for pennies. My hats off. And if I could get this movie more than 10 start, I would. It should be a history lesson.

SnoopyStyle It's a period between 1990 to 1994 in South Africa. The Inkatha Movement comprising of Zulu warriors helped by elements of the white Apartheid security forces are fighting a civil war with the ANC. Greg Marinovich (Ryan Phillippe) is a freelance photographer new to the scene. He faces high risks to go inside a Zulu work camp to take pictures and sells them to the newspaper The Star. He begins a relationship with photo editor Robin Comley (Malin Akerman). With other photographers Kevin Carter (Taylor Kitsch), João Silva, and Ken Oosterbroek, the group becomes known as the Bang-Bang Club.The photographing inside the townships is thrilling. Those scenes have the intensity of the unknown. The story of the four photographers is a muddle. There are compelling sections but the overall flow is lacking. Phillippe and Kitsch have the bravado of youthful exuberance. The love story is perfunctory. Kitsch has nice character arch with that Sudan picture. Overall, this movie has great sections but the total is not as great as its individual parts.

Chayan Mazumder Well i just wanted to add that the movie is rated much below what it deserves. And this is the first time i'm writing a review because i never cared to read what other have written. But this is ONE MOVIE, that has compelled me to write one. People who are into Photography will definitely appreciate the Documentary/movie and the situation a war journalist is in. How there life are effected just because there work involve photographing the truth. It shows that its a misconception that a photographer has the easiest job. To just buy a camera and click the shutter button. Who have rated it below avg or a mere 3 start must be used to watching James Bond or terminator kind of stuff. So to conclude "Don't go by the rating, watch it yourself and decide". Cheers!!!

fxsts12 The irony of a movie about photography, directed by someone who's apparently never heard of a TRIPOD! There's way too much of this idiotic trend in film making of this intentional hand held "effect" by continually moving the camera around, up and down, zoom in-out, shake, shake shake. It's sad to see this tawdry television fad finding its way into big screen movies. I would have really liked to see this film but I couldn't even finish the movie. It gave me a headache. Too bad, I suspect it had subject content that I would have found to be very interesting. I certainly hope this camera shake fad doesn't go much further. It's ruining a number of otherwise tolerable and some rather good scripts.
