FILM REVIEW: SEE SAW KING (2014)

Largely it can be suspected that the inspiration for “See Saw King” came from Shatta Wale song King of Dance Hall. The original score (music) leaves you with that impression.

Akrobeto was alleged to have been hunting in the forbidden forest and as such was summoned to the chief palace to answer for his forbidden acts. He honoured the invitation and pleaded innocent.

Akrobeto was blessed with four children in various professions, a banker, mason, carpenter but the fourth Kwateng (Lil Wyne) refuse to join any profession and was called SEE SAW KING by playmate because that’s what he wanted to do with his life.

Strenuous effort was made to get Kwateng (Lil Wyne) to pick up his father’s profession; farming and hunting, but in all profession he always runs away to play as the SEE SAW KING.

As fate, will have it, Akrobeto truly was hunting in the forbidden forest and unfortunately met the spirit of the forest. The spirit threatened to kill him but pleaded for his life.

The spirit heeded his plea but before the spirit will spare his life, it made one request to help it untangled it tangled hair. In the process Akrobeto caused one hair to fall out, to this there was a penalty, if he is unable to stitch the hair back and this time no mercy.

The movie ended on this note, not a surprise as such is the trade mark of Kumawood films to keep audience is suspense for part 3 and 4.

The film had no love angle to it; as such features could have added more laughter to the film.

Another side is the fight between Akrobeto and the elders at the chief Palace, that plot could have been made tighter to add more tension to the film.

We wait to see what happen next in part 3 and 4. GFI is most likely to come with the next review on the sequel: Sharparrows, signing out on review.
