Entrapped in his apartment, Randal Hendricks, a recent paraplegic, is given a gift of binoculars by his devoted girlfriend, Pam. But Randal is in financial debt to Emmie, a sadistic loan shark, and when he witnesses a powerful criminal, named Lawyer, commit murder while observing his neighbours through binoculars, he initiates a treacherous blackmail scheme. Involving Warren, his halfwit friend with unabashed lust for Pam, is probably going to cost him, but with few people to turn to, Randal does it anyway and as circumstances become more complicated, Pam is embroiled in the unravelling chain of events. Before long, a detective, named Gail February comes snooping around the neighbourhood, looking for the missing corrupt cop - her partner. As Lawyer begins his own investigation in an attempt to find his blackmailer, Emmie compounds the pressure of his looming deadline, and Detective February's investigation draws her ever closer to Randal, the wheelchair-bound Randal must rely on the physical capabilities of his reluctant girlfriend to see their plan through. With deception and greed around every corner, what follows is a thrilling ride that puts both of their lives in mortal danger.
Leave your thoughts about Number 37.
| VarietyJoe LeydonFar more substantial than a run-of-the-mill Hitchcock homage, Number 37 is richly satisfying on its own terms as a singularly crafty and strikingly well-crafted thriller that signals the arrival of a promising filmmaking talent. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisCheerfully derivative yet doggedly entertaining, Number 37 benefits from Dumisa’s slick execution and impressive acting by her small cast. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinDumisa masterfully — and entertainingly — builds, twists and compounds the tension as events spiral out of control and lives hang in the balance. |
| The Hollywood ReporterKeith UhlichThis is derivative if well-executed product, except when it comes to the relationship at the film’s center. |
| User ReviewerikchristianNumber 37 is a South African retelling of Hitchcock’s classic film “Rear Window”. It is a well-constructed, high-tension thriller that was both well written and directed by Nosiph Dumisa. The film is brilliantly executed and is one of the best thrillers I have seen in a while. It tells the story of Randal, a low-level criminal recently crippled by an injury sustained in an illicit deal gone wrong. Wheelchair-bound and cooped up in his apartment in a rough Cape Town neighborhood, with no one to support him except his devoted girlfriend Pam, Randal is heavily indebted to his former gang mate and sociopathic loan-shark, Emmie. With no way of paying the money back, he despairs for himself and Pam as Emmie violently demonstrates what will happen if Randal doesn't settle his debt before the end of the week. The film features some great acting from both Ally and Rockman who give very emotive performances. My favorite part of the film was probably the sound design which really brings up the suspense of the film. I recommend this film to Hitchcock fans for the way it transplants the premise of “Rear Window” in a contemporary setting. |
| User ReviewmaxebryanWonderfully executed, Number 37 pays its homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, and then some. Set in South Africa, the film features a low-level criminal who, after losing access to his legs and becoming wheelchair bound, is given a pair of binoculars by his girlfriend to occupy him while he’s cooped up in his apartment. One day, the protagonist witnesses a murder which he tries to use to his own advantage to free himself from the grasp of a violent and malevolent loan shark. Something I really liked about 37 is that it was able to set the tone right from the get-go and keep its pacing throughout the entirety of the movie. Right away, the film’s opening scene, which introduces the protagonist and his dealings with the aforementioned loan shark, is graphic and intense enough to rival several film climax’s I’ve seen. However, it goes without saying that Number 37 is certainly able to deliver on its own climax (but I won’t give any spoilers here). Something else that really stood out from 37, was its incredible set design. Watching the film, I truly would’ve believed that the whole film was shot on location or that the film crew just borrowed some peoples apartments and told them to leave it “as is”. It made the film so much more immersive and I never felt myself being pullout away from the movie or having the cinematic illusion break. Nevertheless, 37 is a fantastically gritty and suspenseful love story to Rear Window, that delivers on its pacing and immersion. I fully recommend. |
| User Reviewjordanthomas13Arshaad Ally and Monique Rockman are phenomenal in this film. Number 37 rests on their ability to carry every highly tense situation with just the right amount of emotional weight, and they really deliver. The film delves you in the most chaotic and intense situations that are wildly intriguing to watch. And even though it gets fast-paced, chaotic, and stressful, the film never lets go of its singular vision. Nothing ever feels cheap or unnecessary. I was scared, nervous, and enthralled, which is everything I want from a movie-watching experience. |
| User ReviewelliecaplanNosipho Dumisa’s Number 37 is an extremely intense action film with a powerful narrative that had me at the edge of my seat. The film’s main character Randal is a recent paraplegic that has been involved in low-level criminal activity for quite some time. Now that he is disabled and wheelchair bound, his life is completely different than how it used to be and is stuck in his quiet apartment. As a token of her love, Randal’s girlfriend Pam gifts him a pair of binoculars so Randal can see the outside world. Loving this gift, Randal finds himself constantly observing the surroundings outside his window and unexpectedly witnesses a murder take place in the apartment across the street. From his darker past, Randal owes a large amount of money to a dangerous and threatening loan shark in which he hopes to pay off by blackmailing the murderers in the neighborhood. Number 37 is a crazy story involving criminal activity, intense and violent action scenes, and a insane plot twists that I would highly recommend watching. |
| User ReviewMikeyJohn96Many crime films tend to lean towards the same main character. In the movies I’ve seen the main criminal is usually a hardcore criminal that murders and robs anyone and anything. But in “Number 37” the main character is neither of those. Randall, the main guy, somehow finds himself in debt to a gangster, but is paralyzed from the waist down and must navigate via wheelchair. Although in a wheelchair he still finds himself in more trouble with a different gang because of blackmail. Now, this seemingly harmless man finds himself in the middle of a criminal triangle and only he can protect him and his loved ones. |
| User ReviewashbrrttWe’ve got a lot of movies out there that are thrillers right now…. A Quiet Place, Birdbox. So, it’s not often that we see something that’s different. Number 37 has the depth and the intensity that recent thrillers lack and is definitely worth the watch if you like thrillers (and the ones I mentioned above) in general. Number 37 just has more to it. You need to see it, you will be more than satisfied. |
