—The plot was pretty much straightforward: amateur robbers meet professional robbers.
What elevated the movie was the way it was presented. There are some stories that are divided into chapters, One Lagos Night was divided into quotes.
These quotes contained pure, unadulterated dark jokes that will make you giggle as they were drawn from the most absurd life examples. Who thought of this idea??🤪
Mind-blowing!!! The dialogues will leave you pensive and make you learn a lot. The ending was well-thought out and original. Annnnnnd should we add that this film was overall clean, thank you!
—Many awkward and hilarious lines: Ikponmwosa Gold (playing Ehiz) and Frank Donga (playing Tayo) are such natural actors, wonder if they even stuttered during the shooting.
They gave us content after content, we couldn’t stop laughing. They have this unique and unpredictable sense of humor, honestly, they are true kings of comedy 😆
—Ekene Mekwunye, the director, knew exactly what he was doing and where he wanted to take us; we understood what was going on and easily followed the logic of each scene
—The film shed a good light on money laundering, graduates’ challenge to find good jobs, in addition to the extent desperation can lead one to
Bland
—One thing that would have been great to see was a bit more aggression and tactics from the professional armed robbers. They seemed quite simple, not having a solid robbery plan
