ReceptionAccording to Nollyrated, The plot of the movie was like a basket that leaked everywhere and there were hardly any firm connections in the stories. Also, some of the characters were unnecessary to the overall story. This is nothing against the actors skills, but some of the characters added nothing to the story According to Nollywood Reinvented, The best thing about this movie is the picture quality. The shots are crisp, the sets are luxurious, the aura is sold; but the action choreography is a joke, the lines fall flat, and all the impact is nonexistent. The nearly 2hr debacle is chock full with unnecessary cameos and forced insertion of party music to elevate the mood, but theres barely any cohesion here to drive the movie along. According to bbfc, Moderate violence includes a man gripping other men's neck, and a scene in which a man is shot, with brief sight of some bloody detail See alsoList of Nigerian films of 2018 References | |
