TEMPTING FATE MOVIE REVIEW (2015)

Hello my Darlings,

On friday was the world premiere of tempting fate, my friends had tickets for the premiere and asked me to come along (if only they know they where dragging a tatafo like me). We got all dressed up and headed out. The tickets say the gate will be closed at 7:30pm, we got there at about 6:30 little did we know that this movie would not be starting till about 8:30 i think. I am a bit grouchy about it because i was wearing heels standing... (not cool). Anyway that wasn't anything new since thats what happens in most premieres so tempting fate team i  accept your apology and i will try to move on ( they apologies before the movie started).

Now, to the juicy part, the movie. I had absolutely no expectation when I went to see this movie frankly it was something to do on a friday to pass time. I have only one sentence to describe this movie " it is a nollywood film shot in America" no offence to the producers of this movie but hey what was the issues... Oh my God the opening was not syncing Chinedu's song at the beginning tho. What happened? I was totally not impressed. I was really not happy about the Russian boss accent i think i could have done a better job (i have not ideaz on zee way to zpeak withz a Russian accent), one of my friends actually said at the end of the movie when the cast spoke to us "Oh that's why, he isn't Russian he is america, that explains it." I will like to ask a question: we in Nigeria have little access to special effects and we do pretty convincing gun shots, and gun shot wounds what your excuse for the have harzard make up and Fx (special effects) in this movie. The death scene at the end with Ramsey broke my heart cos i felt Ugo's character desired better FX. I do not understand it, dont think anyone else did but if you did please leave a comment below abeg!

To the good parts, Mr Ramsey Nouah! this has nothing to do with the fact that you are Nigeria but God knows you where on another level from the rest. The acting was impeccable and very believable, I love the character Ugo ( I guess this props also goes to the script writer). Ramsey brought this to live so much so that we could not help but hate him, which is the best thing an actor could do. Play a character so well that people start identifying him with that character. I Hail jare!

I also like to give props to the cinematographer, he didn't do a bad job at all.

For me my most memorable scene which I officially name "THE MOST EPICNESS IN A MOVIE" is when Chinedu found out what his brother and girl friend had done, i think his reaction was the most natural thing I have seen in a movie in a long time. They were so good together in that scene. I would love to acknowledge Tiffany Denish Turner and Andrew Onochie for the beautiful job they pull on this scene. It had a huge impact on me.

I think generally this was an ok movie, I like the christianity angle of this movie. I appreciate the hard work and money that was put in it.
