The props, lighting, and total cinematography of this movie were excellent. We expected shaky cinematography since the fighting scenes were so many but surprisingly were stable.
Apart from a crappy visual scene of a finger being butchered, at the beginning. Overall, we give this movie an 8/10.
Femi Adebayo delivered an excellently scripted and directed movie.
