Hustler Riva hopes to make a fortune by smuggling large quantities of gasoline and selling it for high prices in fuel-starved Kinshasa. He'll have to deal with Cesar, a ruthless, sharply dressed foreigner thriving in Kinshasa's lawless streets and Azor, a crime boss in the classic style: big, decadent and brutal.
It took a while to get to the plot or point if the film. Basically we follow Riva as he parties it up and courts the beautiful girlfriend of a powerful gangster. There's another seemingly powerful guy who spends half of the movie trying to locate Riva for reasons that are not really explained until the halfway point of the film. I'll save you the time:
Riva is a hustler. Angolan Andre 3000 and company are looking for him because he has stolen gas from them. He also covets the girl of a well known and powerful gangster and he eventually steals her away with a high stakes act of cunnilingus. So now there are two guys after him and one looks like Andre 3K.
In scenes designed to show how ruthless they are The Angolans blackmail a military commander, take down three policemen, and utterly destroy Azor, the former big bad of the film, this inadvertently solving one of Riva's problems. Their eventual violent confrontation makes up the second half of the film as the film takes a few twists and turns on it's way to it's bloody conclusion.
I don't really get the point of the film, but there is.a lot of sex. I mean, they really got it in. Outside of that, not much happened until the last 40 minutes. That's really no bueno. I felt like he hustled me too.
