This film was uninspired and uninventive. The story is dull. It's nothing new and struggled to hold my attention. The characters are boring clichés with no personality. The whole thing tries to play at your heart's strings, but ultimately fails. Technically it's a mess. A lot of the scenes in Norway are well shot, some even look pretty good - they probably got a local crew for those scenes and a Nigerian crew for the Lagos scenes. The scenes in different countries don't match in color or quality, as if they had tried to stitch two different films together. They also made some strange casting choices. Some of the actors are clearly not Nigerian and they sound like they are doing a bad impression of a generic African accent. Strange for a Nigerian production to use American actors in these roles. And if i'm not mistaken some of the Norwegian characters don't sound Norwegian either. It says here that this film was a Swiss - Norwegian co-production, but my bet is it's really a Nollywood production trying to pose as a European film, and it fails. This one is strictly for Nollywood fans only. And it may even fail at that cause it doesn't seem to have any of their stars. I would have given it 1 star, but it gets 2 just cause of the cinematography in exterior shots in Oslo.
