Ontwaking=awakening in Afrikaans. The premise is interesting, but the story is poorly told. Detectives, killer, reporter-everyone-sleepwalks along, making foolish moves with little explanation. No awakening for anyone until too late it seems. Editing was poor as transitions between scenes was awkward. No character development, just waited for someone to do something intelligent and was let down. Ending was weak, anti-climactic. For a movie set in South Africa, I expected to see more black people but maybe it's good so few were part of this bad movie
