Office Invasion

Saw randomly on Netflix, and this would be my first time watching an African produced movie.

This movie is okay, there isn't really anything impressive about it. Rather the flaw or issue with this film, the story was bouncing around too much. It would of been more effective if Office Invasion stuck to just one theme as a whole instead of trying to messily tackle comedy, sci fi, business themes, and action.

The execution could of been a lot better if this movie explained more on why certain "things" happened. There are several moments in the movie where scenes are just inserted for no reason and somehow, everyone acccepts it like its normal. To the point where im questioning the common sense of some of the characters to the point of being bizarre.

The comedy level is....only at the minimum sadly. Kind of a shame the other issues can prevent you from truly being attached to this movie.

If you're looking for funny and easy to watch after a long day this won't do you wrong. It's super dumb but really funny. Lags in the middle a bit but finishes well. Actors are great, writing is witty, storyline is different, effects were surprisingly good.

After I watch this movie, I couldn't rate. So I read reviews. Very mixed results, like I felt after watched. The movie has definitely 'African humour' inside and I believe some didn't get it. It is cliché at some angles (story), but yet make you smile. If you expect Hollywood style filtering, multi-camera angles, action pack etc. ;well do not. Budget limitations could be recognized.

Actor performance was really good. Sometimes actors overly exaggerating certain traits. I think it maybe confuse with over acting, I think it is performed deliberately, to make fun of the characters.

The movie could be found childish/ geeky, family oriented but it will throw harsh reality to our face in sugar coated form.

I gave 8, because it is not an epic, it is not rare- pure art purposed and shouted. However, it is fun to watch. Grab some pop-corn, relax and enjoy. I did.

The idea sounded solid, but the execution was lost somewhere. It's not that it didn't keep me moderately entertained for the run time, but overall after the credits ran I didn't know what type of movie it was. It's not a comedy or horror or action. I'm just not sure how to describe it. Watchable but forgettable.

The movies of recent seem to be plummeting to new depths, bad acting, stupid plots, you know how bad this is going to be in the first 2 minutes.....and then it gets worse. The only reason I can see that this movie was made, was for some kind of tax dodge. Not funny, not engaging just very poor film making from it seems, people who have no clue. Just awful.

Save your time or watch a test pattern instead, you will thank me for this warning.
