RattleSnake: The Ahanna Story

There is nothing new to see here for fans of this genre, you have your typical band of supposed to be likeable thieves, the tech savvy guy, the muscle guys, the one girl character who falls for the leader, the best friend of the leader who has issues, Bucci Franklin who tries to do a Michael Wright impression from the Sugarhill movie, the genius leader with internal conflicts, so all the usual tropes and cliche's that are in heist movies, it was fun watching to see if they missed any lol.

It was fun watching the movie and at the climax at the beginning it was cold ,was a bit tragic and end but I believe it was a nice movie also love Ramsey Noah appearance he said something about the six related to living in bondage.

How could they get it so wrong? Despite all the technical innovations that weren't available to Amaka Igwe in 1995, she was still able to create a classic. Noah somehow managed to detribalize a well known classic ethnic movie that had enthralled its audience with its language and culture. The actors were sub par at best. There was poor directing at the beginning during Ahannas flashbacks when he witnessed a man being set ablaze. The man who was set on fire didn't act realistically,he remained really calm despite being on fire. This was one of many directing mistakes that could be identified in the movie.

Very bad acting, but the movie is still entertaining.

The Ahanna Story was such a brilliant screenplay seasoned with solid performance and overall production

DELICIOUS

-The film was indeed presented as a story; it almost felt like reading a book with images

-If we could have a standing ovation, it would go to Stan Nze and Bucci Franklin. E.f.f.o.r.t.l.e.s.s. Acting!

-Congrats to Ramsey Nouah's directing style; you can tell he's very serious about filmmaking and puts a great emphasis on quality.

-Casting new faces and veterans in the industry was a beautiful mélange

BLAND

-Ahanna was supposed to be sharp like a rattlesnake, however, his thought process and master plans were relatively simple

-Some logical issues could not be overlooked, e.g. The man in the opening scene who didn't scream while being lynched🤔

-The images in the South African scenes were sadly not cinematic: color grading was missing and lighting wasn't controlled

-Sound effects and score could have been better designed to create suspense, fear, and tension in some scenes

-The film was in dire need of some violence or more dynamic scuffles to elevate the momentum.
