Ratings and reviews

I loved this story that saw two great characters (young Eze and cunning Pius) struggling to handle the lives that they've created for themselves. I was extremely partial to Chinaza Uche's performance as Pius and what I thought was a strong performance from him during many of the important moments of the film. Overall, this suspenseful film had a great pace and enjoyable characters (Grace also had a great performance here as well). Nigerian culture seemed to naturally come forth and draw back in a way that didn't overwhelm this curious american audience while keeping the setting feeling genuine. The development of the plot really had me rooting for our main characters and fearing the antagonists until the very end.

Great film. Excellent cinematography...
