The dollar sign in rhinestones on the back was a lovely touch, I always thought.

Nononono just no. Hansie was a very average international batsman. Yes, he klapped Murali for a bunch of sixes and was our most effective player of spin at the time, but go and look at his record. Its shyte.
He was, however, regarded as a genius captain. However, when the chickens finally came to roost that myth has been disproven also. How did he know when to make these brilliant bowling changes or set the these fields? Because it was agreed upon beforehand!

IIRC the film was produced by his brother, so it's well short of being objective.
Most reviews I read at the time said it was pretty poor, so you may be better off making other use of your time.

Why do you think he's a sociopath? A person carrying a sense of guilt for his wrongdoings is very common - that doesn't make one sociopath.
It must have been terribly hard captaining a side that had all rounders that allowed him to bat all the way to number 10.
As to making SA a force in international cricket, side was already competitive straight out of isolation. Wessels side drew in Aus and got to the world cup semi's. Its no like the side was the lowest of the low.

i know they came onto the scene firing, but he did have a terrific win % as captain. Also averaged a tick under 40 in ODIs which is quality for the '90s IMO
could have stood to make a few more test runs but whatever. and yes he had good players but so did nearly all the great captains.

Yeah, I Godwin'd it but I don't care.

Hansie was a pretty good captain. If he hadn't been captaining in the late 90s with a near GOAT cricket team beating everybody left right and center he deifinitely would have been the best captain of the decade. Sure he had a good side but he led them well too. You could see it in the body language of the team. He did seem to command respect as well (until the match fixing saga unfolded) and had an aura about him that made him reasonably likeable. Not to mention he was probably the best player of the slog sweep in the world after Steve Waugh.

He definitely had an aura about him. He was something of a personal hero for me... Felt so cheated
