Movie Reviews of The Wilby Conspiracy
Movie Review: More Defiant Ones
Summary: 3 Stars
Admirable attack on the hateful South African regime of the 70s is couched in a picture that's more caper than political thriller. The two leads are good, but seem to grapple with the film's jarring shifts in tone. Nicol Williamson is outstanding as the heavy and plays the self righteous Afrikaner with complete conviction and without any ironic commentary. (Like all his film roles he's intensely compelling, but has a distractingly awkward presence.)
Worth watching and the picture does include what may be Sydney's hottest love scene.
Summary of The Wilby Conspiracy
Oscar?(r) winners* Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine ignite the screen as two very differentmen suddenly bound togetherand running for their livesin this 'suspenseful [and] politically pertinent (Los Angeles Times) chase thriller set in South Africa's powder keg of racial strife. When anti-apartheid activist Shack Twala (Poitier) is freed from prison, he quickly runs into trouble with the police. British engineer Keogh (Caine) helps Twala elude a sadistic government official (Nicol Williamson), but as both men, now fugitives, race 900 miles to cross the border to safety, they are drawn into a conspiracy much bigger and deadlier than they realize.Art House & International DVD Video
