The Unknown

-Story: [2 out of 5] Placed in the hands of better directors and producers, this story has the capability of being outstanding. But due to circumstances of which I am gladly unaware of, it was not. It, however, still remains a really good story.

-Originality: [1 out of 5] Pete Edochie, this Alex Usifo, and the late Ashley Nwosu have all acted movies before about power play. However, it is hardly ever one involving an incorruptible judge, neither is it a story like this one.

-Predictability: [2 out of 5] Personally, from the get-go, I knew who “the unknown” masked man was. I do admit that there were moments in the movie where I switched gears or was confused a little bit but in the end, nollywood proved to be nollywood and I was right. The predictable happened.

-Directing/Editing: [0 out of 5] Directing and Editing was a piece of crap. I personally believe that armed with a camera, a couple masks and some stray actors, I could conjure a better movie. A lot of things really got me about this movie like the crappy sound effects and the horribly fake graphics of blood splattering all over the place. It was all really comical. The one thing that amazed me the most was this scene towards the end of the movie in which Sarah jumps out of the window on the upper floor and lands on the ground with her face to the floor and dies. Yet, when her body is shown in the mortuary, her face is in perfect condition ???

-Acting Quality: [1 out of 5] I would like to list all the people in this movie who couldn’t act but I think it would be much easier to list those who actually could act. They would be, Yul, Rita, Alex, Rita’s father and Rita’s sister. Finish. It is my sincere hope and utmost desire that I never see any of the other actors on screen again.

-Settings and Costumes: [2 out of 5] Was appropriate for the most part.

-Video and Audio Quality [1 out of 5] Could have been better

-Soundtrack [2 out of 5] ok
