Fishbone

About This Movie

So, Fishbone – it's a rather somber dive into the underbelly of Lagos, isn't it? The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing feels almost claustrophobic at times, really reflecting the desperation of its characters. You know, the drug counterfeiting world is portrayed with a level of gritty realism that's not overdone. The practical effects are subtle yet impactful, heightening the authenticity. Performances are raw and compelling, especially from the leads who seem to fully embody their struggles. It doesn’t lean on flashy techniques; instead, it draws you into its stark reality, making you feel the weight of each decision. Definitely leaves a mark, despite its low profile.
