Overview - The Delivery Boy is an incredible case of taking minimal measure of assets and making without a doubt the most out of it. In this film, a suicide bomber and a whore wind up in a far-fetched cooperation when they are both stuck concealing together in a little keke on what works out to be a curiously taxing night. As the night advances, the two of them understand that they can enable each other to out and as such this impossible couple set about accomplishing their individual objectives.
Review - It's anything but difficult to begin a film like this with various reservations – thinking about whether it will be moderate, thinking about whether it will be exorbitantly profound or unnecessarily long-winded and so on – however, The Delivery Boy doesn't give you much time to consider all that. The story launches from the earliest starting point and doesn't permit you a second to falter. From the absolute first scene you are as of now dove into Amir's reality easily as his feelings are plane to see all over and supported by his activities two or after three seconds.
The manner in which the story unwinds itself doesn't permit a snapshot of bluntness. The subject of the story is focused on a significant number cultural awareness topics going from the covert activities of adopting personals in Nigeria to Jihad preparing of youngsters in Nigeria just as the maltreatment of underage relatives in the urban areas to the messed up medicinal services system in Nigeria. The texture of the story itself is hard-hitting while never getting excessively sermonizing and when the end credits roll, despite the fact that we aren't unexpectedly shot into a superior society, the crowd despite the fact that everything gets a feeling of joyful conclusion.
If you are a standard reader to my page, you will realize I love to dive into details of movies and I reveal you most gravely, The Delivery Boy is a specialized perfect work of art. Let me disclose you why? The cinematography is shocking in the light of the fact that however, The Delivery Boy utilized basic camera edges, there were some stunning and many-sided camera points of view to the film. The remarkable camera work was additionally reinforced by some extraordinary shading which in cahoot with incredible lighting made The Delivery Boy an outwardly satisfying bit of film-production.
Ibrahim Jammal as Amir/Joseph truly does very well exemplifying the character on a visual level, just as with his face and his outward appearances. The conviction drops off a piece when he is in talking scenes. However never to the degree of Jemima's. Jemima Osunde here plays the character of Nkem, the whore. Furthermore, at commonly, particularly the transport ride scene, it appears as though the heaviness of the character is heavier than anything that she has the ability to show. Kehinde Fasuyi here in her concise minutes encapsulating the character of Sister Dorcas was a greeting inhale of outside air as she figured out how to take one short scene and give such a wide assortment of reactions. Her character goes from joy, too fierce to insidious, too unforgiving to survivor of society and considerably more in a split-second and she doesn't skirt a beat.
Final Word - Overall, I cherished The Delivery Boy which by the way is just 70 minutes in length so I didn't need to cover for a really long time and I suggest it as a much needed refresher in Nigerian film industry. Check out this one guys.
