Some of the worst writing I've seen in a Nigerian production. Aside from the Scar guy, there was nothing interesting about ShantyTown. Terrible acting, terrible dialogue, a well shot movie in places, with a story that confuses you and leaves you wondering just how far out of touch with reality the producers, directors and writers of this must be to think that it was a good idea to make this.
The movie reminded me of those old terrible Asaba made action movies where you know the producers are huge fans of foreign actions movies with no idea how to go about making one.
All in a truly terrible movie not worth the money it was made for or the time of anyone looking for something to watch.

First of, it has an exaggerated cast of an all inclusive all stars.
By the way, what in the name of acting did Peter Okoye do?? And why are there so many veteran actors??
Secondly, the storyline is beautiful as it reflects the typical lifestyle of current day polluted politicians whose ill-wealth is generated from sex workers, human trafficking, corruption, organized crimes, drugs and other illegal activities.
Applaudable also, is the use of ibibio language (finally the use of another language asides Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba).
However, for a six episode story, the movie lacked suspense and the ending??? It was rather shabby Anyways, by Nollywood standard, it may be a masterpiece.

Shanty town is a fantastic movie in general with beautiful story line, fantastic casting and fantastic roles interpretation
I love shanty town and it is the best movie from nollywood right now, i will like to recommend that everyone should see this beautiful work.the writers, producers, directors and every member of the cast and crew brought their A game on. Chidi mokeme immersed himself in that character, you'd most likely forget what he looks like in real life. Lost in the character, perfect performance. The movie has a good message and a relatable lesson. Will give it 10/10 Nollywood to the world.
Seeing that Shanty Town is a six-part series, one would have expected better character development and an ending that was worth it.
These and more were not gotten from the six-part series recently released to Netflix.
The series opens well, and I believed that I was in for a treat, but not really.
A combination of good makeup, mediocre sex scenes and ok vfx were this series selling points, because the story was riddled with plot holes.
Female extra characters are degraded and objectified, and the excuse of it being true to the story of the life of the average sex worker.
Chidi Mokeme was the stand out actor in this series, He brought his A-game and basically carried the series on his shoulders. The remainder of the main cast were giving what was expected. Peter Okoye's Yoruba accent... wow. He could have done with a trainer.
The plot of shanty town is shabby cacophony of stories that just lengthens the run time.
The ending was abrupt and totally unsatisfactory. For a six-part series.
The story could have used with a better ending but the producers had probably either run out of ideas or funding because the ending did nothing but add to already lingering bitter taste in our mouths.
In conclusion, the movie shanty town is a perfect example of having your heart in the right place but executing with the finesse of a toddler playing a piano.

I didn't expect this series to be so good. In terms of production, visuals, plot, script, acting has improved massively from the old days of BEN channels. Nollywood is like Bollywood to be a force to be reckoned to Hollywood. However, I was thoroughly entertained with unexpected plots and suspense. The harsh reality on how power can corrupt absolutely from the political arena, which can correlate to real life situation. The A-class cast from The King of Boys such as Sola Sobowale really smashed it. The series does provide a unique twist, with the underground black market, and forced prostitution which correlates on how there are more slaves in the world than transatlantic slavery with political involvement in the continent of Africa. However, it shows the other dark side of prostitution, which is different to sex workers who really enjoy their trade with individual choice to make a living.
