all I can say is the plot twist will blow your mind
Good movie!
source: The Set Up
You have to watch it for yourself and enjoy the different and exciting plot twists. This is a movie that seats you down to connect the dots. Excellent Actors!! World-class Nollywood! If you're like me, watch with subtitle, it's sweeter.
The main reason for me watching this film was Adesua Etomi-Wellington, I've watched a few of her movies and have enjoyed them, she is (IMO) very beautiful, and a good actress, so I hoping for another enjoyable film featuring her, this movie didn't deliver on that premise, flashback after flashback, left the movie very disjointed, and gave no reason to care for any particular character, looking at Adesua was the only reason I hung around, however big UP to Netflix for featuring International films, there are really good Nigerian films to watch.
The plot twist is wowing. Coming from Nollywood, this is an idea portrayed beautifully. Niyi did a wonderful job. Respect that.
Creative storyline with talented actors. A bit excessive with some of the flashbacks but still very interesting throughout.
I never write reviews about movies i watch, but i had to for this one. It was beautifully directed. Nollywood is coming up🔥big time. The real definition of a set up, with mind blowing twist and turns.
A nice concept that was poorly executed. Unnecessary flashbacks made it seem like you were watching the movie twice. The first 30minutes had poor audio making the actors sound adlibbed and the overly dark theme hid the expressions of the actors.
Good movie!
