His role in the TV series “Fortunes” on NTA steered him towards the limelight, helping him secure a place in the burgeoning Nollywood scene. His early acting career saw him in films such as “Final Decision” , “All for Winnie” , and “Just Once.” While actors like Emeka Ike and Charles Okafor have also made their comebacks with varying degrees of success, the challenge of returning to a rapidly evolving industry such as Nollywood is evident.

With the eminent frustration from his sad reality, bittered and battered at life and how he has had a deluge of hunger for three years, he decides to take a new drastic step. Borrowing from the advice of his friend, he decides to take a loan. Okey Bakassi’s compelling performance as Sammy anchors the narrative. He effectively portrays a man grappling with sudden fortune amidst personal turmoil. His ability to oscillate between despair and determination adds layers to his character, making Sammy relatable and memorable.

Bolanle Ninalowo’s portrayal of Jantamanta adds a unique flavour to the film, offering comic relief and pivotal to the plot. His character’s unpredictability and flair add a dynamic element to the ensemble, keeping the audience guessing his next move. The film excels in portraying ghetto life, vividly capturing the raw essence of Jantamanta’s lair and the day-to-day dynamics of gang interactions.

Additionally, the execution of action sequences and stunts in the film sometimes appears mechanical and less fluid, which might detract from the immersion and suspense these scenes intend to deliver.
