More info: ???

Tagline: There is no act to find the minds construction in the face.  Only men with vaulting ambition can tell.

Plot: The Exterminators is about a couple of businessmen wanting to do anything for power and money. It's a story of greed, lust and violence... Nigerian style!

My rating: 5/10

Will I watch it again?  No.

Well, I broke my Nollywood cherry and I don't feel so good about it.  I'm not familiar with the Nigerian film industry but if this is any indication then it needs help but please don't give your money to that Nigerian prince who will promise great riches in return.  The actors are speaking English but the accents are thick and I found it difficult at times to understand.  I was able to get enough of it to get a feel of what was going on.  It's not a complicated story.  It's obvious from the start that there was very little money poured into this.  The acting is raw and rather good all things considering.  The actresses are great.  A lot of the players bring a lot of passion to their roles and it looks like that despite the budget and probably talent, everyone involved worked hard to make the best movie they could.  The locations are very limited and are mostly similar which helps allow boredom creep in.  I'm sure this isn't a good example of what Nigeria produced and even though I didn't like it, I'm still keen to give other Nollywood films a go.
