Not a good movie, though honestly it kept me watching. 'Debbas' is an evidently low-budget film out of Eritrea, one that I actually think does a better job than expected, relatively speaking. It does at least attempt something above ordinary, which I respect. The effects used for the titular character are effective enough, albeit not high quality. Awet Abraha is a decent lead, while Rusom Kibri certainly commits to his role. Those elsewhere are all fine, none of which took me out of events onscreen via their acting ability. The pacing is alright too, I wasn't ever bored or longing for the credits. Of course, there are many, many improvements to be made, but I think there's a watchable story in there. Honestly, for what it is, I'm cool with this movie. Most definitely not able to be classed as 'good', though given I didn't dislike watching it I can't really say it's anything worth filing under 'bad' either.
