Audience Member There's not a great deal wrong with the story, but it is presented in a too simplistic manner, especially the dialogue which often feels like it is trying to explain events to children. It's more than idealistic ending also doesn't feel genuine. Sadly there's too much soundtrack used throughout the film and it has the effect of making the movie feel thirty-year old. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member wow umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch.....its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie....i think that patrick shai, nick boraine, marius weyers, hakeem kae-kazim, dan robbertse, cleveland mitchell play good roles/parts throughout this movie.....i think that the director of this action/drama/thriller movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie.....i think that this is a really powerful drama movie 2 watch...its got a good cast throughout this movie n its enjoyable movie 2 watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This watches more like a documentary, than a thriller. Worth a look, mainly for its unique African setting and real world themes. Don't expect to be thrilled. Cinematography wise, I should also mention that it looks far better than its budget suggests it should. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was a traditional action movie. But it has a very good story with meaningful inspiration. It uncovers the competition between weapons and water in Africa. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member i enjoyed the movie, and its overall message, that was frankly superimposed at all times. but the movie had a positive and optimistic message, so i found story development and everything to be appropriate.
