It took us a while to watch Quam’s Money as we had already seen the first installment, New Money, and were not quite impressed. The movie had many entertaining moments but overall left us wondering if there was a need for part 2

—We definitely had our funny times with Quam’s Money mainly due to the ‘nonsense’ dialogues and dual-personality actors. When we first saw William Uchemba (playing Emeka, the guy at the club), we were like “oh not again with that voice and typecast role, William, please” Butttttttt he surprised us 😜
My goodness, what versatility he brought forth, our jaws dropped with excess laughter!
—As always, no need to worry when Nse Ikpe-Etim (playing Ozzy, the seductress) is in the house. Though she was upsetting, we still liked her arrogance, elegance, and her soft-spoken tone. Toun (Jemima Osunde) was strong, career and purpose-driven, and also enraged; she was beautiful to see
—What we got out of Quam’s Money is vigilance. If not for Quam’s negligence, he would have never gotten himself in such a huge mess that cost him his fortune. Always do thorough research before embarking on investments and never ever feel pressured to give your money right away
—The soundtrack established a great ambiance for the movie
Bland
—Color grading was sadly not adequately implemented, e.g. the club scenes had many hues blending on top of each other making it hard to identify faces. Many scenes were shot from repetitive angles making them unattractive
—Falz (playing Quam) has swag and some hilarious mannerisms, but seeing him perform in a monotonous way from start to finish was not motivating
—Storytelling took us in many directions with flashback scenes introduced in an unflattering fashion. Plus, the ending scenes sadly extended the story more than necessary.
New Money followed Toun’s journey from grass to grace, if a sequel were much needed, it should have continued on that path as opposed to concentrating on Quam
