A terrible attempt at a movie about corporate espionage and embezzlement in tech. But a pretty decent one about a family man whos down on his luck and is distracted by a femme fatale that almost ruins his life. I would like to see the conclusion of that first half. Unfortunately because this movie is 2 hours long it gives itself too much time to tie itself up in knots it cant get out of. The last 30 minutes of the movie is spent chasing its proverbial tail. We spend 5-10 minutes for the set up of the ball scene that adds absolutely nothing but time to this movie. A terrible choice for what was obviously a self gratuitous decision on the directors part.Nollywood needs to focus on perfecting simple ideas which it still fails at before it attempts these 10 twist plots. Tell me the stories you know well and do it properly. That said;Uzo Arukwe shone in the first half. Sadly he got lost both as an actor and as a character In the second half. By the second half of the movie ini is the man for the job and hes just her husband. Ibrahim is being underutilized in Nollywood. His range is so great he should be getting roles that let him show that. Not stilted office characters with good guy twists. I would like to have him actually be the bad guy in a movie all the movie but in every movie it appears someone prevents that from happening by throwing in a twist. It was great to see Ini Edo on the big screen again actually acting unlike whatever chief daddy was. Its just unfortunate that her character at its best was irrelevant and at its worst was a joke with no setup or delivery. She isnt believable in the sex scene and she looks deeply uncomfortable even. Then all of a sudden shes set up as a spy lite? Zinas character is full of too many holes that it shouldnt even exist. In the first half of the movie shes smart and convincing. In the second half of the movie shes extremely stupid and naive. A daddys girl who just wants a pat on the head.

I enjoyed this movie, it wasnt without its faults but it was a nice experience. I only wish it wasnt as long as it was as there was some unnecessary scenes and I wish they built the love story on a much deeper level between RMDs character and Egos character.

It was difficult to identify what the plot was. The scene was disjunted so it looked like you missed something. The focus was on the glamour and the story was lost.

Omo First of I love the Cinematography, Nice pictures, camera movements But what I don't understand is the story. Like the storyline looks like it doesn't have a head nor tail In as much as I appreciate the work, time, energy, money invested in it, damn the story is what I don't understand Like I didn't feel it from the beginning. So difficult to understand some scenes.

Felt it was really cool

....

It is a food film. Just the regular Biodun Stephen's family drama. I wish we had more time for the conflicts and the setup was shorter.

I couldnt understand the story till the end then I watched again, at an attempt to fil the plot holes and but it didnt matter, it was still confusing. Im rating it 3 stars because the cast/characters were right but the story telling was lacking.

It tried to be a lot of things but failed to be something. I was left confused about what the writer and director were trying to pass across. It didn't even entertain me if I concluded there was no message to pass across.

Great film! Amazing production. Nollywood is awakening

I totally enjoyed watching Ayinla. The fact that it is also a biopic is even more amazing. It is sad what happened to him. The way the story was told, his music and the production was really good. Adedimeji should get his flowers!

There was no conflict until the last one-third of the runtime. You can overlook the flaws because it's a biopic. Not a bad one.

The production value of Ayinla was fantastic, kudos to Jade Osiberu. The colours are beautiful and made the film feel alive. Lateef Adedimeji as Ayinla Omowura was the right choice. He gave a wonderful performance. However, a lot of context was missing which is understandable given the lack of documentation on Ayinla but seeing as the film took creative license with other parts of his story, more could have been done to flesh out Ayinla as a person. What about him was so magnetic that drew all these people to him? What about him engendered loyalty from his band? What made Ayinla who he was away from the glare of the crowd? Those things were missing. Ayinla was a beautiful film nonetheless.
