Shanty Town

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.

Shanty town helps to offer an insight into the lives of the corrupt, with a plot that gives it a strong base. Filled with impeccable acting and nerve wracking moments. Shanty Town is a must see. It starts off fiery but is perfectly paced, as the show goes on you see that.

Each character has a reason for doing what they do and their personal goals and vendetta all collide. Episode one gives us a teaser of what is to come and the further episodes help to build on that in as much as the gore or nude scenes may not be too everyone's liking it is certainly a key component of the show as it helps us understand the world of Shanty Town.

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.

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 really have nothing to actually say about this series in all honesty. But for the purpose of actually reviewing I will say a few things. First of the camera was good, the actors are beautiful, I get to see some fine women's body and they have actions. This is all the positive I have for the series.now to what is actually vexing me about the series is firstly what's to concept asin the story line is weak, all of a suddenly I see I know faces in the movies coming out to fight the action part for real.

I think this cannot be classified as nollywood going in the right direction but a wake up call for the director and producer that the new to get the right and experienced people involved when making a movie by so doing they too will learn.
