Movie Title: Love Lies

This must be a joke.
The cover of this movie is so well done when I saw it at the video shop I knew I just had to get me a copy. Now I am wondering who I can sell it too. I mean with heavy guns of the Nigerian film Industry such as Zack Orji, Rita Dominic, Tonto Dike...who wouldn't reach out for a copy of this two part flick.

The story:
Zack Orji's character meets Rita's character in the classic boy meets girl scenario and we can obviously guess where this is all heading. The screenplay writer throws in an annoying twist when he hints through Rita's friend on a possible dark secret(Rita was married and accused of killing her husband) and further reveals to us that Zack Orji is not only married to Tonto's character but has a son who is recalcitrant and bent to travel abroad. The story twists painfully around to finally have Zack Orji's son investigating Rita's charcater's past hired by Rita's Character's friend. This exposes her secret to Zack xter who shuns her, at the same time Rita's xters very concerned friend investigates Zack and discovers he is married with a son who happens to be the private investigator she'd hired.

The Review:
The story in the film may have been very interesting but for the fact that the script was not worked enough and the director missed a couple of points in his directors 301 class. I really don't know what made these actors sign up for the film cos its really pointless.
Charcater development is zero in the story...we never get to understand what Zack's character's unfaithfulness to his wife was all about; was he just a cheating husband or was there some story behind it or was he just playing with Rita...Tonto as the wife is plainly useless in this film if you ask me. She was under used and it seems like she was added in the story by mistake cos her character had nothing to offer. Rita's characters secret is half baked, and the sequences when she waits for Zack's character are a bore. Rita's xter has a male colleague who works with her ...I just don't get his part and the anger disappointment he shows at the end was unjustified...was he interested in Rita's Character at any point? If he was then it was poorly portrayed by the script writer.

All in All
The few good points in the movie for me ;
the fact that it was a pleasure seeing Zack Orji the actor again on screen,
Rita was dressed decently and was playing a less trashy role,
and last but not the least Tonto's beautiful face.
Apart from that...my copy of the movie is up for sale. Now I know why people don't buy Nigerian movies anymore but rather rent them.
