I hate it when people just hate for no reason. I beg stop!! I watch this movie at silverbird last year and so far it's the best action movie to ever come out of Nigeria!!! This man should be supported and celebrated. Who ever that made the comment that this movie is wak must be really blind and does not know what quality movie is. So sad as Nigerians we love to tear each other down instead of up lift one another. Bravo Michaels may God bless you for even trying to make a difference in Nollywood. Bravo!

Magnumeli, it is possible Semid meant 'wack' as good; just like when we say something was 'Baaaad a$$' - it doesn't meant it was bad but... good. I have not seen the film yet but loved the trailer when it came out a while ago. And it is the most realistic looking Nigerian action film I've ever heard of. So YES - a mega well done to Gugu Michaels and the whole team.
