-Story: [3 out of 5] A good story is one that is not only truly intriguing and capable of keeping you at the edge of your seat but also one that you actually care to see and I have to say this movie was a good story. Not much on keeping you at the edge of the seat but it had a very not-very publicized subject matter.
-Originality: [4 out of 5] Very original being that besides this movie and “Black Gold” there aren’t many movies about the Niger-Delta area.
-Predictability: [3 out of 5] Somethings here and there were a bit predictable. The usuals were a given and by the usuals I mean, “who is going to fall in love with who” “who is going to die” “who is going to fail” yadi yadi ya. But being that this is a new kind of story, it was not very predictable. Something new now and then is always good.
-Directing/Editing: [3 out of 5] No major flops oh! What can I say, Mr. Aniekwe got lucky…lol jk.
-Acting quality: [2 out of 5] A couple problems when it comes to acting. First of all, Olisadebe Chike was in this movie again, and even though his acting got a tenth better the fact still remains that I do not believe he can act. Secondly, Van Vicker played the role of a militant in this movie, not just any militant but a Niger-Delta militant and he was expected to speak pidgin language. Come see our ajebutter at work! His pidgin language was not convincing at all, chacha. His role should have been recasted I guess they put him there for the affiliation with Mercy Johnson in the third part of the movie. Thirdly, Hanks Anuku. Enough said…. wait No! That is not enough. This guy’s voice gets me all the time I mean, is that even natural? Well his voice was almost annoying in this movie but then again I presume that it was part of his role considering that he was supposed to be a Warri tout! So all is forgiven? I think so.
-Setting and Costume: [1 out of 5] In the beginning of the movie, the setting of the movie really irritated me. I couldn’t tell if it was because of the mediocre video quality or because of Ebele Okaro’s office. Her office just looked too small, too choky and too clustered for one that belongs to a whole Minister of Information. Another thing that I can not accept is wearing shades indoors something that I usually associate with Junior Pope but in this movie, Van Vicker was the culprit. Is wearing shades indoors supposed to be a symbol of bad-boyism because it seems to have become a recurring motif in Nollywood movies. Finally, all I have to say is that the president’s supposed office was not very uhm…. PRESIDENTIAL. Ghanaians seem to be a lot better at making a suitable setting than Nigerians, we should probably go and take lessons.
-Video and Audio Quality [2 out of 5] The video quality is not very great. It was not a very executive image is all I have to say…. all pun intended (if you do not get it then never mind)
-Soundtrack [3 out of 5] I really liked the soundtrack plus it was also catchy, Stanley Okorie did his thing.
