Vince, the movie is not that bad. As for me, I've seen a lot of love dramatic story and this is the first time of seen something different after formidable force which I think sucks. I'm not going to classify it as thriller because there's nothing in that much to put it in that category but as one of those nolly movies, it ain't bad. I'm glad I watched it. It's better than your Oga Chameleon she you know.
My sister,i believe that that movie tried a theme that was too big for it.
The killings of 'alleged' corrupt politicians!Imagine what kind of rocus that would cause in real life?That sort of rocus was not depicted at all in the movie,which made the movie come out flat to me.
Why didn't we see detectives on the job working to solve the case,hot on the trail of the gang?The plot should've included a tenacious investigator who is right on their trails.That would've added more intrigue and tension to the plot,not to talk of depth.
What about a tenacious newspaper journalist hunting for the scoop of the century?Who is behind the killings?Political opponents?Foreign govts?Lots of conspiracy theories flying around.That would've made things a bit more interesting too.
How about focussing on the politicians themselves?They are going crazy as they accuse themselves of assasination attempts on one another,and so on and so forth,while the investigators are closing in on the gang.
All these dimensions should've been included in the plot before the movie could be called what a lot of the guys here are calling it here.
So you see,that is why i said that the movie was absolutely not up to the theme that it took on,coming out as a quarter baked thriller(yes,angel,it is a thriller),instead of a full blown politthriller it should have been.But like i said,that would've been too big for the Isong/Imasuen duo to handle as of now.Maybe in the future.Dem try small,sha.
