The Set Up 2 (2022) Movie Review
The Set Up 2 feels like a movie made out of a collaborative effort between Sydney Sheldon and Robert Ludlum. I was very impressed with the story line; it has action, suspense, a smidgen of romance, and humour. The revelations are mind blowing. As a matter of fact, I was on the edge of my seat through out the movie. It has been a while since I have seen an action movie from Nollywood that I really like.
I really love the cast of the movie. We have a mix of old and new actors. Adesuwa is a beauty to behold, and the combination of her natural beauty and skills shine through. Fight sequences are well choreographed, weapons handling is well orchestrated, and the stunts are almost perfect, almost. Yet none of these take away from the extraordinary nature of the movie.
Nancy Isime has firmly positioned herself as the queen of the Nollywood action flicks, and she gives a great performance here. Of course, Kate Henshaw, Tina Mba, Jim Iyke and the rest of the cast, are truly in their elements. But my favourite in this movie is not even the lead actor; it is Stan Eze. He displays the perfect blend of seriousness, goofiness, tenderness, and humour. He is fully in his element here.
The picture quality of the movie is top notch. I especially like the manner in which the movie uses the opening montage to give us an update from its prequel. There was no wasting of screen time. I especially love the camera angles. For example, there is an aerial view of Lagos that came out really well. I wish to see more of such in Nigerian movies.
The Set Up 2 movie has some minor misses, none of which take away from the excellent story and performances of the actors and crew. I intend to go see this movie again.
