Nollywood Reinvented rated the film 62%, praising the story and the performances, but noted that the film lacks emotional connection with the viewers; it commented "With a stellar cast and its not-the-usual storyline, The Department aspires to so much and achieves a lot but it does not achieve it all. The movie did great work with the little details, however, together the finished work falls flat and will probably be forgotten by your next breakfast".[14] Folasewa Olatunde praised the performances in the film, but talked down on some unrealistic parts of the film. She concludes that the film is "intriguing and suspense filled".[15]

The Department is the story of a secret department in a highly successful company which has gained its success by disabling other companies in order to acquire them. All this is done through the efforts of the members in this department. All is fine and dandy until two of the members decide to leave, one is indispensible to the organization, and the other is resolute to keep his wife away from the business. Both motives eventually clash in this aspirational thriller.
The movie has a stellar cast, in fact everyone in this movie has the tools of the trade. Hence, this post will get really lengthy if we decide to touch on all performances so let us stick to the surprises. The number one surprise in this movie was Osas Ighodoro. From the first scene her ease in front of the camera is apparent. For most of us who only watch Nigerian movies and do not have access to the TV shows, we were not aware of her. Regardless, Osas disposes of any kind of skepticism about her performance from scene one.
It was simply a delight to see many of these actors in the same frame as each other. Personally, it was the cinematic equivalent to a broke druggie getting a free high. However, all good things must come to an end have their own comma in them.
The movie is never able to attain any kind of involvement for the audience with the characters. In fact, in many scenes the characters themselves seem uninvolved with each other. It was such that person A is giving a great performance and person B is giving a great performance, and in as much as these performances are great on their own but together they are nothing.
The emotional investment is completely lost on this movie and the complete silence in the beginning and end of some scenes did not do much to help the situation. Granted, this movie put me on to a lot of new songs that I otherwise would not have known of but the score was not on the same playing field. Per chance, using more emotional music, especially in the silent spaces, might have helped lift the movie up.
