TO KILL A MONKEY: Great Film, But I Have Reservations. After all the hype and well deserved applause for "To Kill a Monkey", I still have some reservations. Yes, the movie was great, from the acting to the cinematography, but certain aspects of the storyline lost touch with reality.<br><br>First off, the character "Teacher" was unnecessary. He contributed nothing meaningful to the plot. The whole fight between Teacher and Oboz felt forced, especially Efes involvement. Efe had no connection to Teacher, yet the script tried to insert him into a conflict that wasnt his. That angle was weak.<br><br>Secondly, Efe was portrayed as a tech expert and developer, yet he came off as dull. How can someone with the skills to build such a powerful app be that broke and clueless' No real life developer with that level of innovation would still be that hungry and wrecked.<br><br>Thirdly, Oboz didnt embody the traits of a real mafia boss. He bragged too much, talked loosely, and chased women without class. True underworld leaders move in silence, protect their presence, and dont get disrespected by women like Amanda in front of their boys. <br><br>Letting Efe into the inner circle without proper initiation (vetting) only confirmed how unserious Oboz was. Efe asking Oboz, who owned the structure, for 50% just so he could sit back and collect money was peak greed and entitlement. That was an obvious red flag that Oboz was too blind to see, simply because he himself is an idiot.<br><br>Efes wife, Nosa, in my opinion, did nothing wrong. Yes, she messed up and lost herself when the illegal money finally came, but she wasnt the problem, Efe was. He lacked principles and backbone. A woman cannot push a man of integrity into crime. And lets be honest, 90% of women would do exactly what Nosa did if they saw that opportunity. Her reaction was predictable; Efes weakness was the real problem.<br><br>Lest I forget, they didnt condemn the crime in the movie, they ended it like it was just another way to make it. That kind of ending sends a subtle message that crime is a normal or valid route to wealth. And honestly, as much as thats a flawed message, it also reflects reality. Many of the richest people in the world today didn't exactly take the clean path to success. Still, a film with this kind of reach shouldve done more to spark reflection, not validation.<br><br>So while To Kill a Monkey was a great production, the character arcs and certain plot decisions needed more realism and depth. These small flaws kept it from being a truly unforgettable masterpiece.<br><br>If I should rate the movie, I would say 7/10, not because it wasn't entertaining, but because certain parts lacked depth, realism, and proper character development.<br><br>Trailer <br> <iframe class=youtube src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aLxhNzvqToY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br><a rel=ugc href="https://www.youtube.com/watch'v=aLxhNzvqToY'si=a_Pul7BuNskLyDaG">https://www.youtube.com/watch'v=aLxhNzvqToY'si=a_Pul7BuNskLyDaG</a>
