Cinematography okay, each character pulled their wieigh.
It's high time Nollywood movie producers begin to tell our stories with the aim to inspire hope & improved brand image & representation. Paint a picture of what's it's possible, a dream, not the overwhelming reality we've known all our lives. For example most of us grew up watching western movies so much that we were lured into the "American dream" . Only to arrive there and realize that the street were not better than what we had back home. It's our movies that non Nigerians watch and form a perspective of us as a brand before we even open our mouth to speak .
Somebody once said - "you disrespect what you don't understand" . Reducing & representing the faith and culture of a person to a criminality, is disrespectful and I had too much respect for Jade to think she would do that . All through the movie I kept hoping that the writer will make a positive case for the EYO, & not leave the audience with the idea that EYO was synonymous to crime.
I know other faiths or culture might not see raise a frown now - because it's not their faith that has been dragged through the Mud.
However , it's not right, art or not. Jade is a Princess - I wonder if she could pull that stunts off with Remo traditional faiths or the Agemo cult. EYO is not a gang. Is a cultural identity, the movie is an Insult to the Yoruba culture. There are a thousand and one ways that movie could have been written but you chose this.
