This story is not what you expect it to be. The twists and turns are familiar, yet they are fresh. It is romance, it is cultural pressure, it is a tragedy, with a bit of humour thrown in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel Etim-Effiong deserves his flowers. He always brings his A-game to every role. The range of emotions he exhibits in this movie is something to behold. He moves through almost all the number of emotions known to man, and some of them change in a matter of seconds. Toyin Osinaike is an underrated actor in Nollywood. His acting is so methodical and full of passion; he is a master of his craft. Kunle Idowu is gaining traction as a semi-serious actor, having started out as a comedian. His expressions in every role eventually have touches of comedy. Toni Tones does not have too much screen time, but she is still a great female lead for this role. It is interesting that the tortoise equally got its own mention in the credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things this movie has going for it are the camera angles: we are presented with unusual and interesting camera perspectives. Jolly Roger shows a lot of grit, and this is achieved in the way the cameras are placed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, it is a movie with a lot of depth and a lot of issues to unpack, most of which are not resolved. One hallmark of great movies is to leave you wondering and questioning, a cliff hanger to stimulate continued discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nollyrated Score for Jolly Roger<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4\/5 &#8211; Great 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>Good<\/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 movies, series, 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>Jolly Roger is a stellar performance that leaves you with a cliffhanger to stimulate continued discussion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2729,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movie-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2708"}],"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=2708"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2708\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3055,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2708\/revisions\/3055"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nollyrated.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
