For a crime drama, this film came with real stunts, and the actors were well prepared for their role. It was fun to see singer Zlatan Ibile (Kash) showing us his martial arts skills. The setting was also in place. Costumes used in the film simply told the story perfectly well.
It was thrilling to see veteran Fuji singer Pasuma Wonder (London) playing the role of a street king in this film. Lead actor Tobi Bakre brought the heat, showing us he was well trained for the role.
In summary, I would rate this film a 7 over 10. You just have to head to Prime Video to watch and let us know what you think about this film.
The movie co-produced by Osiberu and Kemi Lala Akindoju is still streaming on Prime Video.
