Great potential but poor execution

Political-military thrillers are probably my favorite genre of movies & I had great expectations for this film. Unfortunately, in the end, this film kind of falls flat on its face. The set-up had so much potential but the pacing is poor & at times the movie ends up being a boring chore to watch. The performances by the actors are solid, especially considering what they were given to work with because the script isn't particularly well-written & the plot doesn't end up being very intriguing. The cinematography is good & they managed to capture 1970s Nigeria pretty well.But in the end it's hard for me to recommend this movie. As I said these are my favrorite type of films by far & if I got bored watching it I can't really see anybody who's not a fan of the genre even bothering to finish it. And to those who are fans of political/military thrillers, this production is nowhere near the standard of films we are used to so I doubt many would enjoy the experience. It's a shame because I would love for more movies like this to come out, especially given how many events & conflicts in Nigerian history there are to explore in cinema.

I guess it was not a comedy?!

The way the shots are made was like it is a comedy movie.Some dialogues sound like it was a comedy.But it is not funny in any way.The movie was well done but I could not figure out what type of movie it wanted to be and what was the story about until I stopped watching somewhere at the middle.
