DELICIOUS

-It's always exciting when Nollywood comes up with fresh stories especially an investigative one. Thank you for giving us something different to watch😃

-It was great to see different faces like Bethel Njoku (playing pastor Dominion), Wash (Victor Panwal), and Patience Ujah (playing Mima)

BLAND

-Katangari is supposed to be a skilled and mind-blowing investigator, but that opening scene didn't exhibit his prowess at all. It was cheesy😣 And the rest of his investigation process didn't make you scratch your head. It was linear...

-Apart from pst. Dominion who brought some zest to the story, acting was regretfully poor. No memorable character. A story like this calls for drama especially that 'everyone is a suspect', abeg bring out tragedy, laughter, suspense, or some frightening moments to plunge the audience into the story...

-Sadly, too many clues from the beginning gave away the murderer that in the end, we were not surprised when the person was revealed😐

The film had great potentials but it was unfortunately not well developed, bummer...

DELICIOUS

-When you compare Nollywood movies pre-Lisabi, you'll definitely notice that the VFX and SFX were ok, not striking. Niyi Akinmolayan and his team have really stepped up their game by striving to establish themselves as a household name when it comes to effects and this is clearly visible in Lisabi with dynamic execution and attention to detail👏

-Sound engineering was a blast, very refined!!

BLAND

Aside from the impressive effects, the film sadly did not deliver in many ways:

-The screenplay was in desperate need of a parallel story; the lack of made the movie very redundant as we kept on hearing about the collectors' oppression for an 1 hour and 45 min 😫

-The movie reminded us more of Jagun Jagun and the other Yoruba movies that have been released lately. Nothing striking. No character stood out. No memorable moments

-The scenes were way too lonnnng. That introductory scene with the Kabiesi took about 15min😱 Plus, the dialogues were casual, not enriching the story

We hope the sequel can bring out some excitement as the story in of itself has the potential to be great...

Suspicion had all the ingredients we were looking for in Tosin Igho's previous movie 'Seven'. It had an exhilarating fight choreography and dynamic VFX and photography! Tosin Igho has evolved👏

DELICIOUS -from the very first scene, we could tell that the technical aspects were mastered. Sound was on point, every angle was shot intentionally to convey a something about the characters -Casting: no criticism when you have Stan, Uzor, Tina, and Omawunmi on board😀 -The intensity of the fights was nicely reflected in the vibrant cinematography, it plunged us into the movie, we were excited!

-No comment on the special and visual effects, job.well.done

BLAND -sadly, the storyline was not easy to follow and was unnecessarily complicated. Why does Voke (played by Stan Nze) goes into this self-reflection mode that lead nowhere?

What's the overall takeaway message of this story?

Why should we want to watch it again and again?

Overall, we are so glad that Tosin's skills have improved, and he has made Nollywood proud with the exquisite execution of this film.
