Movie Review:OJUKOKORO

Ojukokoro meaning greed in Yoruba language is a fine narrative /satire that mirrors the greedy nature of human beings .

Jubril's (Ali Nuhu) wife  Sade ( Somkele Idhalama)kidnapped and he is surprised at what the kidnappers know about what he has in his custody and is compelled to give it up.Andrew(Charles Etubiebi) who is also Jubril's brother  and manager at Lupicon Petrol Station also has his own dilemma which is how we are ushered into the movie as we meet Monday (Seun Ajayi), Sunday/Jide(Tope Tedela) ,Accountant(Emmanuel Ikubese),Hafiz Oyetoro(Baba) and Soji ( Gbolahan'Bollylomo'Olatunde) as staff of Lubcon Oil and in that company nothing is really as it seems from their business activities and individual characters.We also get to see Mad Dog Max(Wale Ojo) who is also linked to Lubcon as the head and has another job beside his camouflage petrol station.

So many plots go on in the movie ,they are all linked and perfectly resolved.Greed is evident in almost all the characters lives.

The Good/Bad/Ugly:The screen play of the movie is that which will wow you!Creative and beautiful!It was refreshing to see some of the characters who are usually cast as lover boys in an entirely different role and they delivered.Cinematography and every other aspect okay too.The movie keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.The is that you cannot afford to miss from the beginning else will get lost  which is a plus by not making it predictable.

We are left to guess what becomes of Andrew after he survived the drama/bloodbath at the Petrol station with the 'contraband' he never knew he carried.

The movie is produced by Femi Ogunsanwo ,directed and written by Dare Olaitan.

My overall rating:Brilliant!
