Coming from Insanity

Very brilliant movie. As soon as i saw Gabriel afolayan and Wale Ojo, i knew it was not going to be a lazy storyline. I mean the entire cast did really well. This will go down as one of my top 5 best nigerian movies.

One of the best movies I have watched in a very very long time. The time spent was worth it.

I read all the reviews (5 of them..) and found out more about the movie than I did from the movie.

Agree it was a bit disjointed and far too long.

All I could think was ........ with ALL that money, couldn't he buy a new shirt and pants?

Also, the blurb said he was brilliant. Seems he was lucky. Sort of.

This was a good first film for him. I don't see a second one. Rather I won't see a second one if he puts one out. Although I am glad I watched this one. This is my first Nollywood movie.

The suggestion by NFlix that this was a movie that I would be interested in: was correct.

For a Kanuck with a rudimentary understanding of the history of a handful of African Nations, and a few African friends to bounce ideas off of, I found this film very watchable.

It is produced and filmed in English (no dubbing).

I turned it on, and watched it to the very end; no serious distractions; no 'pause and watch later' etc..

I have watched one other 'fact-based' Nollywood movie, and I keep adding more to my watchlist, so I finally got around to watching one.

The plot, look, and feel of the movie description, intrigued me, similar to how the presentation of "The Stronghold" (BAC Nord) sucked me in to a poorly dubbed but 'based on true events' French film, that I also liked.

This is an authentic: Made in Nigeria, Africa ("Nollywood") movie.

The production will feel very different than other movies with African plots that you may have seen, such as "The Last King of Scotland' or "Blood Diamond."

I thought the production quality was very good, and the acting was excellent, based on the story, plot and actual history.

The plot, quite frankly, seemed unbelievable to me, but the movie posts a statement saying that everything in the film is very true, except for the names of the characters ... EXCEPT ... the main character's name is actually real.

I never heard of this event, nor did I bother investigating it any further after watching the film. It will make you think.

It is easy to watch, with an insightful look into some aspects of upper-middle-class life in Nigeria.

I enjoyed this movie enough to tell you that I would give it a 6.8 / 10 rating ... if I could.

The value of this film is completely in the story. Depicted as truth, if one has a heart the film brings forth the terrible challenges faced by citizens in many countries.

If you are looking for Steven Spielberg this is not for you - I was compelled to watch because of it's authenticity. I highly recommend this film for anyone that lives a sheltered life.
