Movie-Stander

Stander was an interesting 2003 movie, a true story about a South African cop that becomes disillusioned with the corruption and bigotry of his profession, he turns into a bank robber...quite successfully.

He gets caught, sent to prison, escapes and forms a small gang to start robbing banks again. Again, really successfully!

It's well made, well acted, with some nice irony. The ending leaves a bit to be desired, but I guess with a "based on a true story," some things are inevitable.

Nice little movie, not great but not bad. Not like the epically bad Troy.
