A Promising Trailer, A Disappointing Movie
Ayo Famurewa’s enthusiasm was short-lived, as his excitement from the trailer was met with disappointment upon watching the full movie.
He struggled to find relatability in the storyline and felt it resembled a low-budget psychopathic film.
In contrast, Jude Onowu found some aspects of the storyline to be reminiscent of real-life events, although he felt the narrative was somewhat unoriginal.
He also raised questions about the interpretation and execution of certain scenes.
Standout Performances from Blossom Chukwujekwu and Toni Tones
Blossom Chukwujekwu and Toni Tones stole the show with their exceptional dialogue delivery and character development, according to Jude and Ayo.
Blossom’s performance was especially noteworthy, as he masterfully portrayed a character with a mental disorder, fully immersing himself in the role.
His convincing portrayal earned him top accolades as the standout actor of the film.
KM 17 Cinematography: A Creative And Technical Success
The cinematography received widespread acclaim from the crew, with the night-time sequences standing out for their exceptional craftsmanship and skilful execution across multiple locations.
The production design, including sets and props, perfectly complemented the film’s genre, while the clever camera placement effectively captured the high-octane driving scenes. Overall, the filmmaking was innovative and impressive.
A Miss, Not A Hit
KM 17 fell short of expectations, receiving a unanimous thumbs down from the crew. Despite impressive performances from the lead actors, the storyline lacked the necessary punch to make it truly compelling and believable.
Unfortunately, it was a miss rather than a hit.
