The Creek Review: Stellar Stunts and Cinematic Flair Marred by Shallow Plot

When we went to see The Creek we expected a thrilling Nollywood epic. The poster looked like a Hollywood blockbuster, but the story let us down. The film tackles kidnapping, gangsterism and oil bunkering in the Niger Delta. Yet it throws in too many plot threads without exploring them. The journalist’s relationship with a soldier fades away and feels pointless. We also wondered why a beautiful reporter would risk peeking into a militant camp. Technically, The Creek shines. Explosions, sound design and colour grading rival international standards. The set design and locations immerse you in the creeks. It delivers top-notch action but only earns 6/10 for its scattered storyline.
