I was engrossed not quite with the action scenes as it was with the way the actors acted, particularly the boy and the mother.  The boy is trying his best to act naturally but sometimes there are these mannerisms that will make viewers amused even where there's no intention to make you chuckle. The actor who played the role of the mother also tries her best to act well but sometimes appears just too awkward. There are some bad guys here who are familiar faces and who figure prominently in some of the  African films in the '80s era.
