-Story: [3 out of 5] Yes Yes Yes. I will back my rating for this story… ANYWHERE ANYTIME.
-Originality: [0 out of 5] Somewhere out there, I am sure we have seen something of the kind but not the exact same thing. Hence, I say kudos to the script-writer for tactfully avoiding another typical Gollywood Movie.
EDIT: I have now seen the bollywood movie, “Aitraaz” of which this movie is an exact rip. Please be original and do not remake another man’s movie people.
-Predictability: [2 out of 5] Going back to my opening splurge about the movie, you realize that it is not what you would expect from it, however it is not ‘oh-so-different’
-Directing/Editing: [1 out of 5] Maybe I wasn’t looking hard enough, but I do not have a rant about this movies directing, neither do I have a rant for its editing. Does this mean we are improving? or do I speak too soon? Yes, I do because in this movie I am made to believe that Jackie and her husband, John live in a mansion of a house that is well gated with a security man. However, for some reason, the director or script writer expects me to believe that Biola came in to the house. Not only that. But she also peeked in from the window and watched Jackie and John make love? I think it is important to remember that these peoples rooms are on the upper parts of the house. So how did she majestically fly from the hotel room and stand on air as she watched the sex scene through the window. I bow.
-Acting quality: [2 out of 5] Well done for the most part no major flukes
-Setting and Costume: [2 out of 5] I would like to take off the entire points because whoever was responsible for the disaster that was Biola Ige’s hair in the first few scenes needs to be fired, just like the person responsible for the outfits in Blackberry Babes. At first, the hair was all over the place then into the movie I guess the costume designer realized that ‘the hair can be pinned.’ Argh!!! The arrant irritation I get from these people. However, the other points taken off is because… well… go see the movie and tell me what you think of Biola Ige’s general attires. I think the deductions are well justifiable.
-Video and Audio Quality [1 out of 5] The video clarity was crap, for lack of a better word.
-Soundtrack [4 out of 5] Austine Erowele is a genius. Soundtrack embedded below
In my Opinion, JOHN DUMELO is one of the Best African Actors in GHANA right now. He has a real natural Talent for Acting, and Im so sooo verY Proud of him. Im one of his No.1 and Biggest Fan on the Plaaaanet. Damn !!! The Guy is sooo Good… But these 3 Characters put together r a real Match.
