2 Rats

About This Movie

2 Rats, directed by Andy Chukwu, offers a blend of dark comedy and social commentary, as it delves into themes of family betrayal and survival. The film follows two boys, played by the well-known duo Osita Iheme and Chinedu Ikedieze, who find themselves navigating the aftermath of their father's murder at the hands of their uncle. The pacing is a bit uneven, oscillating between comedic moments and the darker undertones of their situation, which keeps you engaged, albeit sometimes off balance. It's interesting to see how practical effects are used sparingly, focusing instead on the performances. Iheme and Ikedieze bring a certain charm, even amid the chaos, making this more than just a straightforward comedy.

Includes strong performances from Nollywood's top actors.Interesting mix of comedy and darker themes.Reflective of familial and societal issues in Nigeria.
