It is the second movie I watch from this "cinema". It had a good beggining but it soon started getting a bit boring, until the fight of brothers on the boat. Then it started getting better and better until the end what was amazing. Although it is boring and without good acting for a lot time, it's on point. The russian actors need to learn more about acting. I watched it through netflix so it was a bit hard when it didn't had subs but you can understand the parts you miss. I will totally watch another one from Mosses Inwang.
To conclude, a movie that is on point. Can show you somw of the issues people in this part of the world face, gets a bit boring for the middle part but is woth watching. The begging is ok, the end is amazing.

Amazing end
Felt like two different directors.
The first 15 minutes of the film and the last 10 minutes are quite spectacular. The middle part? Absolutely shocking. It felt like two directors were involved in this story, and even worse, Netflix meddling with the vision of the original director.
Acting is good, set up is great, and the plot is interesting. A home land ruined by oil and a young couple with forbidden love, ruined by a corny villain and slow as nails boat plot which has many holes.
The antagonist is so one dimensional, a 4th grader would've written it. A shame.
Skip the middle of the movie and you'll have a good short film with the start and finish.
For a Nollywood movie? Applaudable.
With a brilliant storyline, the movie encompasses issues bothering on illegal migration, the adverse effect of oil and gas environmental pollution on host communities, ship arrest and traditional beliefs.
Appreciable also is the use of ijaw language (not the regular Igbo/Yoruba/Hausa). With a beautiful cinematography, the introduction of new actors is applaudable.
However, in this love story, there's little attention to details. Although the movie is classified as a thriller, it's major strength is in emotions rather than action. Quite a number of scenes are predictable thus the drama becomes belaboured. Horrible soundtrack by the way.
