The movie definitely wasn't anything great, but having spent a lot of time in Cape Town I really enjoyed some of the scenes. You see some great views of the V&A Waterfront, of the area around Greenmarket Square, and a view of Cape Town Table mountain from Robin Island as it's blown up :)

Mmm OK say I have to write at least 10 lines of text, so I guess I'll comment on some of the other stuff. Madchen Amick (as the chemist) is of course a pleasure to look at. One of the guys on the "team" has some kind of South African accent... either he grew up in some weird place there or he is a foreign actor making a poor attempt to sound South African. Nevertheless it's still nice hearing an SA accent in a movie, with of course all the scenes from CT.
