Ekster

About This Movie

Ekster is an interesting watch, a TV movie from '82 that dives into the underbelly of the diamond trade. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing keeps you guessing as the titular character, an extortionist, toys with law enforcement. It’s this game of cat and mouse that brings an edge to the narrative. The practical effects, while limited by the era, manage to create some genuinely suspenseful moments. Performances are solid - not overly flashy but they capture the desperation and cunning of the characters. What stands out is how it explores moral gray areas and loyalty, all wrapped up in a rather gritty package. Definitely a film that has its own unique vibe, worthy of a collector's shelf.
