Blood Vessel

With a brilliant storyline, the movie encompasses issues bothering on illegal migration, the adverse effect of oil and gas environmental pollution on host communities, ship arrest and traditional beliefs.

Appreciable also is the use of ijaw language (not the regular Igbo/Yoruba/Hausa). With a beautiful cinematography, the introduction of new actors is applaudable.

However, in this love story, there's little attention to details. Although the movie is classified as a thriller, it's major strength is in emotions rather than action. Quite a number of scenes are predictable thus the drama becomes belaboured. Horrible soundtrack by the way.
