Release and reception
[edit]Suky was released exclusively on Amazon Prime Video on 7 March 2025. The film's dialogue is almost entirely in the Yoruba language.[6] Culture Custodian has described Suky as an "action film that loses to its unanswered question" owing to the fact that the character Suky was underdeveloped, leaving viewers unsure of what he had been doing prior to his imprisonment.[7]
