    A really good one!
    Omo, the casts all played their roles very well!

    It was really good to see actors that have never acted these kind of roles acting new roles beautifully well!

    The picture quality was superb not to talk of the sound!

    Definitely not the typical nollywood movie!

    My favorite actor was definitely Blossom, better ibo man.

    Followed by Shawn Faqua with his good ibo accent, nice one.

    Disregard any bad reviews, if you're into crime, action and thriller movies, this is definitely the right one.

    I was hooked, there were no dull moments at all and honestly speaking, I couldn't guess what was next.

    Kudos to Jade for this movie!
