-Story: [0 out of 5] The first thing I noticed about this movie was the cast. Artus + Martha + Nadia + Emmanuel???? Ah! In the words of Jenifa, warrisdis (what is this). Shey una wan kill person? Do you seek to entertain or to abuse the viewers? Second impression was the directors name: Kensteve Anuka! From that point, I knew the movie had reached the point of no return, no rescue and no salvation. No one can help you again… with a cast like that and Mr. Anuka as your director?… I shan’t speak any further
-Originality: [0 out of 5] In the beginning, we see Artus on a Bike with a pregnant Nadia on the back seat. Fast paced beginning. Almost intriguing music… interesting at the least but let’s just say that that was the only highlight of the movie. It’s all downhill from there. A story we’ve seen one too many times
-Predictability: [0 out of 5] …and a story we’ve become a little too familiar with her ending
-Directing/Editing: [0.5 out of 5] The movie is in two parts. Yes! But it’s still a ridiculous piece of bull. No apparent art in the cinematography. In fact, the way the movie ended all of a sudden, I’m not sure if they (the people responsible for this excuse of a movie) even realize that movie making is an artform (see “Amnesty” review)
-Acting quality: [0 out of 5] Let me start from worst to worstest (Yes! I can speak English and Yes! I do realize that ‘worstest’ is not an actual word). Speaking of murder to the English language, this movie had on it’s cast line-up, two of Ghallywood’s best English assassins in the person of Martha Ankomah and Artus Frank! Chai… why won’t this boy just go and take the speech therapy classes already and stop torturing us. It’s not like you can’t afford it. What do you do with all the money you make from those torturous releases y’all call movies? Martha, o-dear-Martha was an ashawo again in this movie. Emmanuel Emoabino still can not act and Nadia Buari is still completely incapable of showing emotions on screen. Nothing new here.
-Setting: [1 out of 5] Adequate
-Costume/Make-Up: [2 out of 5] Some are Team iPhone, others are Team Android, a few are Team Blackberry (is there actually such a thing? I mean are there still people who are dedicated and loyal to the RIM brand in 2012? Anyways that’s asides the point…) Me? I’m team-let’s-get-some-more-fabric-on-these-Ghanaian-actresses. I’m telling you, it’s a serious matter. It’s a disease. A disease that is fast spreading into Nigerian movies. (See: “My first wife“)
-Props and Graphics: [3 out of 5] Ok
-Video Quality: [1 out of 5] I’ve definitely seen better
-Audio Quality [1 out of 5] Highly inconsistent
-Soundtrack: [1 out of 5] Ok
-Musical Score: [1 out of 5] Just like in “The Queen and I”, the musical score for this movie was uber dramatic and for the most ridiculous scenes. It just made the entire movie seem more carricaturish and more amusing than it already was.

Which one is it hard to believe? That I am from the US or that Nollywood has reached someone from the US who is now a huge fan?
I am also a fan of the old classic movies from the US that were made around the 1950’s and 60’s. Older movies had better story lines than movies today. They were not ‘watered’ down with special effects. This is one of the reasons I enjoy Nollywood movies for their orginality and well written scripts. However, lately, I’ve been noticing that some of them are copying US movie story lines. I would like to encourage them to remain original. I like a movie that makes me think.
U lie u arent from any Us ,u are from Nigeria or from Ghana,artus cant speak English agreed but he is a great actor simple,u arent from any us ,stop lieing
Stating he has bad diction is one thing, but declaring he can’t speak English at all is simply not true. Have either of you heard of dialect? I am actually from the U.S. and there are people from Great Britian and especially, Australia that I can not understand because of their deep accents. Artus’ takes care of himself and his body, and he looks smashing on the screen! Also he puts his all into his performances. I appreciate that. And to be honest, some of the Nollywood actors are lacking in these areas.
People often made fun of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s accent. He is the big block buster star who is now governor of the state of California, USA. He starred in movies such as The Terminator, Conan The Barbarian, and Preditor. Trust me I have watched a lot of movies from Hollywood to Bollywood. Artus is one of the best! Pleae stop reaching for nit picky stuff. Yes, his accent is deep, but be more thankful for his hard work and dedication. Besides Artus’ accent adds to his sex appeal!! It’s hott!! The tone of his voice is as smooth as butter. Have you heard him sing? Watch ‘Money Never Sleeps’ with Rita Dominic.
Alright, I know Mercy Johnson is amazing! Sorry I did not mean to blaspheme Ms. Reinvented! However, I do think Martha is a huge talent as well.
But at the end of day, I am just proud of Nollywood as a whole. Keep it moving forward, and I will keep watching! Btw, I am not with a production company, but hmmm maybe I shoud be.
Adios, Sayonara, Lebewohl, Chow, Salam, A dabo, and Good bye!! 😉
i saw dis movie, die with me cud u review it. its from the stables of media gh producers of a nyt with her
Yes! I started watching that a couple weeks ago. I will try to review it as soon as possible
Please if you want to watch this movie go right ahead. I liked it! The opening scene was original, exciting, and sweet sweet eye candy for the ladies! The movie also had a moral to the story that I appreciated. It could teach ladies about how some men really think of them. Also the story shows how The Lord can move in mysterious ways to turn our lives around.
On another note, about Africans criticizing other Africans on their English. I want to know out of all of the regions in Africa, who made Nigeria the deciding factor on how English should be spoken by all Africans? I have heard this so much among you that ‘frankly’ (no punn intended) I’m sick of it. Besides studies show that 93% of communication is non-verbal. After all, I would think a movie watcher as yourself would appreciate the level of intensity that Artus Frank performances brings to the movie screen. His facial expressions and body language speaks volumes!! Also, Martha is very good. I would compare her performances with Mercy Johnson! Artus’ and Martha’s acting in the move ‘Temptation’ were award winning performances! ~JL
“The opening scene was original, exciting and sweet sweet eye candy for the ladies!” <--- and this is how I know you were involved in the production of the movie. Not all movies that have a moral are worth watching… take for instance, Nigerian christian movies. They all have an amazing moral but due to the poor level of production and acting no average joe goes out of his or her way to find them and watch. Exactly when did anyone say that Nigeria was a deciding factor on how English is spoken in Africa? There is only ONE correct way of speaking English. And this way is correct in Nigeria, correct in London, correct in NY and correct in Sydney. Any deviation from that which is correct is (following the simple rules of logic), incorrect. Oh I admit that Artus Frank is an amazing actor as long as he’s on mute. All his acting skills noted, he still didn’t display half his prowess in this movie. “Martha is very good I would compare her performances with Mercy Johnson” TAAA GERROUT! Do not blaspheme… Granted! Artus and Martha might have been better in Temptation but do note that they had a good director working with them in that movie.
A good actor should know how to speak English,no matter how well one act,its a fact,Artus cant,but u know he is a liberian ,so maybe its affecting his tongue,but plix alot of Actors and actresses cant speak English,they are either fake or horrible,except few of them,abeg Martha shouldnt be compared to Mercy,though she can act,Artus is okay,but very bad diction
and to think that i wanted to watch it badly
Imagine? I doubt anyone would have made it through the first quarter of the movie though
