Nigeria's third Asian Film Festival was held from Jan. 23-26 at Chopsticks Restaurant in Abuja, with movies from eight Asian countries screened.
On the second day, the Korean comedy "Extreme Job" attracted a huge crowd as the hall was overcrowded with people. The audience laughed hard while watching.
The most interesting part of the festival was the showcase of food by each of the participating countries. Visitors got to sample the foods of Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Bangladesh, Palestine Syria, Iran and China. I also had the opportunity to taste delicacies I'd never heard of. Above all, this beautiful event was put together by the Asian Cultural Committee.

"Extreme Job" left people glued to their seats. The cast, photography, color and everything about the movie were captivating, leaving no question as to why it ranks No. 2 in Korean box office history.
The movie is about a narcotics investigation team who fail to arrest a drug-dealing gang. Team members discover a drug trafficking operation by an international gang and go undercover as staff at a chicken restaurant and carryout. Problems arise when business starts to boom.
The action-packed comedy had a great ending and got a lot of laughs from the audience. Watch it to relax, and I could watch it over and over again.
