Crime: It's a Way of Life

Andrew comes home one evening to find that his wife, Michelle has kidnapped Sipho, the man who had hijacked her a week earlier. Sipho came back to the house thinking that there was money hidden away. So begins a struggle of wits between the two, as Michelle thinks that the only solution is to kill him, whilst Andrew feels, that following the law is a better option. Through their struggles, we learn of the ordeal that Michelle had to endure with Sipho and his accomplice, the Other Man.

Directed by Savo Tufegdzic, Crime: It's a Way of Life leans on a strong ensemble — Kim Cloete, Tsepo Desando, Sibusiso Mamba — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2009.
