...family with "a legacy of distaste"; thus, even movies with wonderfully lurid titles like "Blood Orgy of the She Demons" are essentially G-rated. "Apartheid" doesn't depart too much from this philosophy, except for the fact that a good deal of the time the proceedings resemble a trample-fetish video. However, in an era when Hollywood entertainment - "Charlie's Angels" included - is remarkably predictable, Mikels' work still comes as a cold slap in the face.
