Gangs of Lagos (2023)
Hilariously awful.
Billed as a crime thriller, but so badly scripted, acted and filmed it compelled us to watch the whole thing for its comedic value. The slo-mo fight scenes (of which there are many) are particularly entertaining as there is no attempt whatsoever to make it seem that anyone connected before the recipient falls over with all the conviction of a premier league footballer.
The lead actor was reasonably taciturn with his one "strong, silent type" facial expression, and to be fair there were some other half decent actors. The casting of the Teni character was so misjudged it was laughable as she went from being a pretty, dark skinned young girl to what can only be described as a hippopotamus in drag!
In all honesty, avoid this like the plague unless you have a penchant for self harm.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Drivel.
Probably one of the most boringly narcissistic attempts at 'entertainment' I've ever seen. Dull as ditch water and the addition of Pitt and Di Caprio does nothing to rescue it. Clumsy script and predictably 'arty' in an attempt to be sophisticated. Crap!
