Movie Review:Four Crooks and a Rookie

A  gang of robbers  Blaze(Micheal Uchegbu),Cyborg (Ani Iyoho),Lune(Shawn Faqua),Kila(Ceasar-Ume Ezeoke) and Jazz(Ugo Maduka) well disguised as regular people enter a bank to heist and they almost succeeded unhindered till the policemen who initially trailed a beautiful lady to the bank suspected something fishy was going on inside the banking hall and called for back up.The gang having noticed the scenario had changed turned the event into an hostage.
Negotiations began  between the police and the thieves but lives of both the hostages and members
of the gang were lost in the process.
Let me start with  what was not so good:Some parts of the shooting scene eg the one from the roof looked kind of animated,same goes for the opening of the vault(the special effects could have been better),there was no guard stationed at the entrance of the bank (even though in reality their presence wouldn't have changed anything as per the robbery)
The good and beautiful:The acting by everyone was well done!you could feel the energy and passion put into interpretation of the roles especially by the robbers.The news casting was good,it looked real and could  pass for when you watching Channels news(our No1 News Channel in Nigeria).The location ,necessary bodies were assembled for a that type of event (Police,Traffic officials ,fire service,media etc).The scenes were well connected even when flashbacks were involved and scenes were not dragged.
The Police were able to turn the gang against themselves but Cyborg and Lune made it out but were eventually killed in a gun battle with the police.
The movie also tries to celebrate the Nigerian Police Force and talks about the evils of unemployment especially among the youths in the society.
I will rate the movie Very Good.
The movie is written produced and directed by Ugo Maduka.
