We clap for Editi Effiong👏🏾 The Black book was a breath of fresh air and a beautiful production!
Only wished the film had kept the same vigor that it started out with😔
DELICIOUS
-The cast was a nice fusion of older generation (RMD, Sam Dede, Alex Usifo) and the newer generation (Ade Laoye, Denola Grey, Olumide Oworu)
-Big shout out to the production crew! Impeccable the sound quality. Yinka Edward, as always, nailed the photography. And the set design adequately suited the rough and tough ambiance
-It was obvious the movie wanted to encourage the people to rise up and act against the framing and killing of innocent young men: 'Silence is the enemy'
BLAND
-The film started on a powerful note with a vigorous altercation between police and armed men, later the momentum increased more when deacon Paul's son was framed.
Then about the time Shaffy Bello was introduced, the pace started slowing down. The dialogues became plain and the scenario casual, without creating any suspense or excitement
-Alex Usifo, Sam Dede, and Shaffy Bello, though playing notorious roles, delivered a theatrical performance.
Plus, the level of violence/fighting choreography was low and the screenplay became predictable
-The absence of symbolism failed to intensify the meaning of the story or help the audience relate to deacon Paul and his pain...
