Tsotsi

African movie about a gang of hoodlums in Johannesburg. One of them, Tsotsi, is more reckless than the others. He steals a car, after shooting a woman in the stomach. He drives off and discovers a kid in the backseat. He tries to raise the kid on his own and find a woman who is nursing her own kid. They form a sort of partnership. Tsotsi beats up one of his "brothers" in the gang really bad and there is lot of tension in the gang because of it. The kid makes Tsotsi grow up and learn some humanity on the mean streets. Tsotsi has grown attached to the kid and to the nursemaid. I thought it would end different than it did. It was a decent movie as foreign films go.
