~Worth Watching~
Delicious
—We just wanna quickly hail Jammal Ibrahim’s square face for a moment 🥰 Oh wow! His pronounced jaws suited the character!
—Acting was ridiculously wonderful. Amir (Jammal Ibrahim) was strong, agile, sharp, and goal-driven, yet, also damaged internally; we understood his pain.
Charles Etubiebi (playing Kazeem, a terrorist) is a hidden gem, we need to pay closer attention to his movies 😊 just the anger on his face could literally kill someone
—Really wished the film could have been longer because it had so much to offer: thrill, fighting, and emotional & educative moments. We didn’t wanna miss a split second
—Nodash, the director, was unapologetic about the graphic violence and harsh realities of life to make a bold statement
—What set the story apart was the deep dialogue on the psychological effects of sexual abuse. The Delivery Boy dived into the shame and humiliation that compel the victims to remain loyal to their abusers though internally wanting out
—The score, visual effects, and night setting worked in unison to generate an exciting sensation
—Every character was crafted in an exceptional manner, e.g. Nkem (Jemima Osunde) had a big scar on her face, worked as a girl on the street, and came from a terrible past; Amir worked for a terrorist group, didn’t like being close to women, and was swift to kill
Bland
—The prosthetic makeup on Nkem’s face wasn’t always well applied
—Minor continuity problems
