I'll keep this short and simple.

I couldn't decide if it was an action movie with the Robin Hoodesque theme, a comedy considering the cast, or a beauty parade for the same reason as the second. Or maybe it was all three.

The plot was bland and lacklustre, but the dialogue was interesting (no depth though).

I could spot one glaring faux pas in the movie and wondered how the director and editors missed it. It was so glaring I was appalled. P.S Falz was involved.

There were an array of fancy casts, but sadly, many of them had zero role to play and only further weakened an already weak plot. In fact it's safer to assume their presence was simply to make the movie look colourful. Some scenes appeared unnecessary and were likely included to make the movie move beyond the 1hr 30mins mark. I didn't get the point of them at all.

The only things the movie had going for it were the presence of a very fine cast, comedians/funny humans and fancy wardrobe choice. Cinematography was decent although the camera angles in the fight scenes and gun shots were puke inducing. The sound was clear and not characterised by that irritating thing common with nollywood where the background soundtrack drowns or significantly interferes with the dialogue (Wedding Party was guilty of this, too).

If you're expecting suspense I advise you go watch "A Quiet Place" or "A Simple Favour". This movie doesn't provide any of that as most of the scenes could be predicted, except perhaps towards the end and even that would be disappointing for movie buffs who have spent years bingeing Hollywood

You'll laugh a lot and not be bored to sleep, that's a given. But it isn't a movie you'd consider seeing a second time-- especially not in a cinema-- and there were no fantastic, awe-inducing moments in it.


Verdict:
5/10



P.S. Ramsey Nuoah looked like fine wine kiss



Seen it, what do you think?


it seems you dont know movies the quiet place is the most stupid illogical movie ever

Just like black panther... overrated
3k still paining me till tomorrow angry

I never rushed to watch black panther. I just waited for all the noise to calm down. And still, 6 months later, the movie wasn't fantastic AT ALL. Black men, wearing spandex and giving excuses why Africa has not been developed since all this time. Nonsense.

Sometimes i wonder which is worse b/w the nollywood movies that hit the cinemas and those that don't... The difference is mostly camera and costume. Seeing a nollywood movie at the cinema is a waste of money, time and intellectual exercise.

I slept off while watching, the story line was wack, Nigerian directors should just stay on their love stories.The last scene (the Proposal) was nice sha undecided
I swear, this is the most boring movie I've watched in recent time. I was just praying for it to finish so that I can find my way. the storyline was %100 wack.

Standard AY movie, more spectacle than substance, poor script with a big name cast, and a film that gets more viewers than it deserves.
