WOKE

by
Positives

1. Very short running time; with a straightforward storyline.

2. The movie shows what can be achieved if everyone makes up their minds to stay alert and stand for what's right.

Negatives

1. The make-up team could have done better; we have seen other movies; and this just falls a little below par.

2. Dialogues could have been better polished; we have seen way better dialogues.

Bottom Line

A good watch.

Lead Actor in “Anikulapo”, Kunle Remi, takes another lead role again, and this time it’s a crime thriller.

One thing that’s quite clear about “Woke” is the director’s love for simplicity, nothing overdone, and not much underdone.

“Woke”, the movie is a crime thriller which tells the story of a former secret service agent, who is persuaded by his wife and agrees to take a job brought to him by his former colleague. A P.I’s mission to find and rescue the kidnapped daughter of a renowned Kingpin TEGA, widely known for corrupt practices but has always evaded justice.

The movie tends to shed a bright light on the current situation of Nigeria, showing how a lot of things have gone bad due to poor judgements of character and pointless sentiments. The movie shows a high possibility of a better Nigeria, the kind we dream about and pray for, if only its citizens decides to look up by “staying woke” in taking the necessary actions best for the country, disregarding all sentiments that would overtime lead to regrets.
The cast of the movie is a blend of Nigerian young acts and veterans like Kunle Remi, Zack Orji, Tina Mba, Adedimeji Lateef, Linda Osifo, Lanre Adediwura, Ohakwe Chinedu Luis, shade Emmanuel, Iyke Adiele, Ivy Agbo, Bright Wonder Obasi, Emmanuel Igwe, Uloko Energy, George Nanakwesi Chux and others.
The movie was directed by Abimbola Olagunju, and produced by Gertrude A Preye Seibi
Star Performer- Kunle Remi
Taking the lead role in a crime thriller is never an easy task. Kunle really did bring his A-game on, his acting really couldn’t be flawed, however, the biggest room is always the room for improvement.
