The Black Book Nollywood movie review - A stellar action thriller

I talk about the latest Nollywood action thriller that's out on Netflix. And why this pacy, complex movie is one of the most scintillating ones from the industry.
Directed by Editi Effiong, starring Richard Mofe-Damijo, Sam Dede, Ade Laoye, Taiwo Ajai Lycett, Shaffy Bello and many more

I actually enjoyed the movie. I think it was well shot and a great one for Nollywood, however, when it comes to action movies in Nigeria, i still see their inability to go the extra mile in the production; i mean, how can there be a massive shoot-out scene with cars are the windshields and car windows still intact? I guess budget sha. Nice review 👍👍

[@NollyGoodFellow]

Interesting point there. I happened to miss out on that. But yeah really enjoyable movie.

Not all Nollywood movies.......I have seen some Nollywood action movies that shattered glasses.......but the place Nollywood stunts coordinator needs to work on is fighting scene......they really need to improve on that....... they really need to employ stunters in nollywood just like Hollywood because nigeria has so many stunters.......

[@promisebethel2226]

But in this movie......the glasses and car doors are just opening holes instead of shattering......

In Nigeria, temporary houses (those without government approval) are built with wood.

[@NollyGoodFellow]

Are the temporary houses this sleek? Just asking. As I'd mentioned, what I was speaking of was based on assumptions.

What do you say about the picture quality

Worked for me from what I gather. Might have to watch again to confirm. Lol

Great review

[@NollyGoodFellow]

Hey, thank you!

[@promisebethel2226]

Even there costum looks 80s........ almost every thing......in movies settings matters the most.......in regards to the year you are presenting....... the same thing happens in gangs of Lagos but it was understandable because its gettorish movie......this is why merry men keep on being the best....their settings on what year they are depicting is on point.....and we can't wait till October 13 for its 3 to be released tittle nemesis........i saw there behind the scenes.......we are about to go goosebumps.....

[@NollyGoodFellow]

Hope it comes out on OTT too, soon.

IMO Merrymen shouldn't be mentioned when talking about great movies, but again, that's my opinion

[@promisebethel2226]

Well the movie is fire but i would say my expectations wasn't meet.....this a movie which they are presenting nigeria on 2020 but its giving nigeria in the 80s vibe...... Look at the presentation of lagos marina as the seat of political or army generals.....its not convincing at all.....that location is a big getto in Lagos...... forget about those high-rise buildings....its use to be a business district in the 80s but was moved to other areas in Lagos niw that place is now the biggest market place in Lagos......i have so many problems on there locations......as a Nigerian...... even the army and police force are all given 80s vibes none of this is given modern nigeria.......the movie would have scored 10 over 10 for me if they where depicting an 80s or 90s of Nigeria not a 2020 of Nigeria that still looks like 80s......

[@NollyGoodFellow]

Interesting! Fortunately or Unfortunately for me those are things I wouldn't know sitting here. I think I should move to Lagos

[@solomonobihan9465]

Well, what if they were going for the 80s vibe?

[@promisebethel2226]

@@solomonobihan9465 they should have displayed it as an 80s not saying 2020...... even you as a nigeria did that location convince you at all

[@SteveGlaber]

I believe you do know that some flashbacks were made in the movie.

[@promisebethel2226]

@@SteveGlaber am not talking about flashbacks.......am talking about 2020.......how they displayed Lagos Nigeria.....by using marina CMS to depict the whole of Lagos......they did the same with gangs of Lagos even in brotherhood
