It is a film about the international oil companies exploitation, and wrecking of the nigerian oil deltas. its a film about oppresion from the local people, and the use of military power are very visual.its an important issue to tell about,but not the way its told here.
its a bad story, its bad filming and acting, and i have great doupts if any of this has been made in or near nigeria.the triggerfingers and torture,combined with a bit christianity makes this a grand turkey of a movie.
if your are an emersive environmentalist or a local nigerian fishermen,whos river have become petroleumstreams then watch,otherwise its such a bad movie thinks the still and forever grumpy old man

The main problem with this movie is its a bad movie that tries to be serious and absolutely fails.
This entire movie is absolutely terrible. Bad acting, and absolutely terrible action. The idea isn't too bad, but it's written terribly.
As far as the action scenes go, this goes back to terrible sequences from old movies where someone gets shot 10 times before they die in a prolonged 30 second scene, it's funny in Austin Powers because it's supposed to be funny, it's not funny in this. This movie is like ordering a burger from a dollar menu and being slapped in the face with reality when you realize that $1 doesn't get you much.

Low production values, pacing issues, and bad acting put this film in the skip category.

A well delivered movie sharing the history of Nigeria's environmental devastation caused by oil companies, and the effects they had small communities.
Flashbacks interspersed throughout the film, give it a human touch and allows the viewer to really understand the motives of the characters. Great acting, a realistic setting and details woven together though a well written script made this informative movie enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed the character development through the insightful flashbacks, as well as the realistic way the movie shared how brutal the warlords AND oil companies were..

It has the quality feel (acting, cinematography, and writing) akin to a cheesy soap-opera set. There are better ways to burn 2 hours.
