I love the fluidity of the dialogue; it reflects the way we actually speak and converse everyday here in Nigeria. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The handling of weapons by all actors keeps improving, and I am quite impressed by the editing that gives us the gunshot effects. It is sometimes over the top, but it works for the movie.&nbsp;The story is cleanly told without too much fluff, and bits of humour that do not take away from the seriousness of the story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I dare say Tobi Bakre is underrated. He gives a brilliant performance as the lead in this movie, and I am delighted with his performance. As usual, Toni Tones gives a great performance worthy of the accolades she has always received. Bright Okpocha (AKA Basketmouth) has always been a good actor, even with his comedy, and he gives a good performance here as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omawumi is a surprise to me: she acts a serious role and gives it as good as she gets.&nbsp;It is good to see O.C. Ukeje back on our screens, and not in the stereotypical roles he had been pigeonholed into previously.&nbsp;But blink for too long, and you would miss seeing Deyemi Okanlawon in this movie. I wonder why.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The picture quality and camera angles are appropriate for a gritty gang movie; my drawbacks from the movie include the swiftness of the romance scene (it seems a tad unrealistic), and how civilians are spectators at the scene of a violent shootout between robbers and police special forces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those niggles aside, overall, Brotherhood is a great work of art. It is a movie I will see again and I look forward to seeing it on the streaming platforms. It is currently showing in cinemas across Nigeria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NollyRated Score: 5\/5 (Outstanding Movie)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NollyRated uses a 5-level scoring system, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Poor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sub Par<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Okay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Great<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outstanding<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Join Our Tribe on Twitter:&nbsp;<\/strong>For updates on new Nollywood movie reviews, cinema reviews, and Nigerian movie personalities, join our tribe on Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NollyRated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NollyRated<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to see the 2022 Nollywood movie, Brotherhood; it is a story that is cleanly told with outstanding acting and production. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1818,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[372,361,358,115,357,360,116],"class_list":["post-1809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movie-review","tag-5-star","tag-abdul-tijani-ahmed","tag-brotherhood","tag-crime","tag-jadesola-osiberu","tag-loukman-ali","tag-thriller"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1809"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1809"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2557,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1809\/revisions\/2557"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
