- Filmed in black and white, “Ill Gotten Gains” has some startling early images that were shot in Cameroon. But once the action shifts to studio sets and coastal California, it becomes visually mundane at best. The musical score is intrusive and obvious. The film is an extreme case of good intentions gone woefully wrong.

For a movie set in the 1800's, everybody speaks like it's the 1990's. The acting, particularly the people playing the white slave masters, is horrible.
