King of Thieves Agesinkólé 🎬

Let me start with the slogan "Agesinkólé kan omo re pupo - kuo beun na" So sorry if you don't understand yoruba or haven't seen the movie yet. I'll help by saying Agesinkólé is literally translated as "He who rides horse to rob houses." Lol

King of Thieves is an epic story of betrayal that revolves round a prince who was deprived of the throne by the king makers. He was set up as a thief by those he has solely trusted and faced the brutal punishment of death. In a quest for vengeance, he reincarnated and troubled the town violently by carting away goods even with no regards for human life.

The movie is indeed a complete package from the casts to the props, the costume, the language, the directing, the clean production and post production. 

You know, I just can't be wait to be told after seeing the paparazzi from the premiere and the thriller, mehn.... I became so much inquisitive as to what exactly the content was and can say I truly got the value for my money. The hype was worth it.

From the combination of the thespians involved, I would say the choice of the casts is to be lauded. They all interpreted their roles with the "e" for energy. The undiluted yoruba language spoken with heavy incantations. Memorising those lines sef is a big deal for me. I can't imagine how many hours of practice it would take.

Moving on to the traditional setting and costume. Omooooh, the idea behind that and the final delivery was A-plus. I thought the snake in the movie was a visual effect until I saw the BTS (Behind The Scene), it was real. Kudos to Oga Femi Adebayo Salami.

They say there's always a reaction after every action and that was what caused the retaliation. And like Burna boy sang "we are the monsters you made" Agesinkólé was made into that monster of a being by the chiefs or rather king makers.

Those same people that condemned theft are more crooked in their acts and this is what happens nowadays. Take for instance a pickpocket who stole a mobile phone worths #30,000 would be punished by the people in government who embezzle millions and billions of naira. Who is the real thief here??? 

How can heavy punishment be pronounced on someone found guilty of trivial cases?  That is inhumane and I would want people in the judiciary sector to take note. Those who are just pickpockets or thieves that steal day to day foodstuff needs should not be given weighty judgements, they are far different from "armed robbers". It's quite apparent that they are in need of these things. Please note, I'm not in anyway supporting theft cos I can't even deal.

So, I would just urge everyone to be careful of their actions, to know who to trust when it comes to making choices. Let's try at all cost not to take someone else's property whether tangible or intangible, my brother e get why.  Let's all be brave and face our fears making God Almighty our pillar.

We can act rightly if we want to. Otherwise it's our choice which could be at the expanse of others.

Have you seen the movie? What did you learn? If you haven't, what's your expectation?
