Tsotsi (2006)

Drama from Johannesburg, South Africa. Tsotsi is the name of a street hoodlum and gang leader in the slums outside of Johannesburg. Things get thick when he carjacks and accidentally wounds a mother of a small baby who is sleeping in the back of his stolen car. What to do with this baby? It reminds Tsotsi of human vulnerability and pulls out of him emotions he can barely deal with. Lots of character development, a moving plot, and fine acting. Not the happiest ending, but not the most miserable either. Gripping 94 min.
