now as Nigerians, we are trying to show where the weaknesses are and how
to fix it. The movie’s intensity & simplicity attracted me to the
script”.
According to the producer,
Uche Jumbo Rodriguez “The first thing that attracted me to the movie was
the fact that it is a crime film and I have never done a crime movie
from my studio. I also love the pace of the movie. We have been shooting
in reverse, shooting all night and resting during the day”
