Good but not fantastic

The hype in Nigeria and in UK made me decide to watch the film. The story line, cinematography, colour , actors/ actresses were fabulous, but I was disappointed at the end because my expectations as well as 3 friends I watched with were not met considering the hype.I'm glad the film raised the Nigerian film industry profile even further. That said , in my opinion the wailing in the film will not attract international audience . I as a Nigerian felt the scenes where people raised their voices were over the top, therefore not enjoyable for me .

Great Nigerian movie, Mediocre international movie

I give this a 9 for a Nigerian movie, and a 4 for an International movie. This is in some ways a compliment as one often doesn't bother to even rank a local movie using an international eye, and one doesn't bother to spend time to write a review. A great attempt by Kemi Adetiba as this movie raises the bar for other Nigerian filmmakers to do better than the typical ancestral curse movies or the numerous bland movies lacking a plot that you switch the TV to just to create background white noise when working on your computer. To be more specific, I liked: The acting especially that of Makanaki (Reminisce) and Eniola Salami (Sola Sobowale),The localized take on the GodfatherThe depiction of the relatable corruption prevalent in NigeriaThe subtle infusion of humour in Odogwu Malis (IllBliss) characterSome of the character dialogues (e.g. scenes with Eniola and Aare Akinwande, scene with )I didn't like: Poor editing. Several scenes were either overly long and seemed to be dragging e.g. some of the policeman's scenes, the Makanaki/Eniola religious prayer scenes etc, or not even required at all e.g. the Music performance near the start of the movieThe long running time (especially as it could easily have been avoided in this instance)Unnecessary wailing and screaming by some of the characters (especially Eniola Badmus, that is her acting trademark, but the director should have caught that as it was out of character for her role)The product placements were too obvious especially for BrabusSome of the Godfather comparisons were getting obvious (still liked that though)The particular scene where a particular character was shot, and we the audience was misdirected, could have been better directed. The camera angles and actors' body postures gave it away.The practical/special effects in the prison scene can be improved upon, there was no fire in the prison, minimal smoke, etc.All in, it was a great movie for a Nigerian movie and can be improved upon

One of Nollywood's finest!

I've had my reservations for Nollywood movies considering their long history of poor production. But this movie is a slow burner, that gets better as it progresses.It draws the audience into the dark world of political power and the consequences of conquest-while spinning a vivid tale of an unlikely hero.The lead actor's delivery was subliminal and this would've been a masterpiece if same could be said for the entire production. The gapping holes that persist in Nollywood movies remained as there were visible loopholes in scripting, acting, directing and cinematography, albeit at a minimal degree.Nonetheless, this movie is head and shoulders above most productions and was quite entertaining to watch.
