Movie Review: Paradise Stop
This is the story of two friends who live their lives on opposite sides of the law. Potso will only drive if the light is green. Ben (Kenneth Nkosi), on the other hand, will go when it suits him. In any one month thousands of cargo-carrying 16-wheeler trucks move freight north, bound out of South Africa to Zimbabwe and further into the heart of the continent.
Near the freeway that links Johannesburg with the country’s northern border, outside a sleepy town in Limpopo province, is Ben Khumalo’s truck stop Paradise Stop, complete with bar, restaurant, and ladies of the night. Paradise Stop is well known as a hangout for shysters and criminals. Ben has a happy marriage and a thriving family. His wife, Goodness (Charmaine Kwenyane), knows that he has a shady past in Johannesburg.
Ben’s friend Potso (Rapulana Seiphemo) is a good cop in a rotten system. He has dedicated his life to upholding the law and to catching the bad guys, but so far the bad guys have always escaped him. It’s a must see for those who love action comedy.
