Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

To understand what's really going' on with some geopolitical stakes mixed against the background of hostages (just a pretext) and new concurrence on the world stage of Uranium prospectors (the Chineses). Acting is OK, we like Laurent Lucas (Calvaire) and Emile Abossolo M'bo (Colonel Aboubacar) in the roles they have. The script is easily guessable but interesting at the same time. I think it's really close to what the "Françafrique" has to deal now with the new emergent powers in place. You 've been there for a long time, enough to weave links, not enough to learn from your own mistakes apparently. But we also know that another trust territory is not necessarily what Africa needs. Cope with someone you know or trust newcomers ? The choice is yours...
