Should you watch it:  Ok so let me tell you something , this movie has 2 of the best actors in Nollywood but worse storyline.  The movie does make any sense whatsoever it starts the same way it ends 4 hours later. The movie is boring has hell . There are some characters in the movie that do not need to be thereSo many questions were left unanswered. So should you watch it hell no !

Performance of the Actors: Jim Iyke is so hot in this movie. Both of the main Characters were good.

My rating is: 60% Changed to 20%


Should you watch it: while doing laundry or with nothing else better to do


Performance of the Actors: Truthfully I loved Nadias crazy ways it’s a different side of her acting the acting could have been better but in the end they pulled off a good movie watch out for part 3
Ok, OK I know what you must be saying.  How in God’s name could it get any worse?  Trust me it was a total surprise to me too.  What started out as a decent movie found its self in the” movies you shouldn’t watch” list.  Poor sound, lighting, story, acting, random acts of nonsense were abound so much in part 3 that It made part 1 & 2 useless.  Still loved Nadia’s craziness but ultimately it was a flush down the toilet.  Sorry guys you are some of my fave actors but I don’t know whom to blame for this one a travesty all around.

My rating is: 5%

Should you watch it: If it’s only to see Mike, Nonso and Desmond in all their sexiness then you are good Otherwise don’t waste your time.

Performance of the Actors: Truthfully I don’t know if it was the acting, the script, the production, the direction or the entire concept of this movie but it was pure TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really did you really think this movie was going to fly? The initial concept was good. Three childhood friends meet up again in Nigeria and run a successful business to distinguish themselves. It looks like nothing could stop them then they meet a girl.... blah blah blah. Also going against this movie was the absolutely annoying acting of the Baron. Rally you watch too much BET if you think that is an ameriacan accent and that is the way that people speak! It was the most annoying this and I have to admit that I had to fast forward his parts. N Please do not watch this movie unless you are board or tired!

I’ll give you one spoiler there is a sex scene near the end of part one. WACK!!!!!! I am not expecting nudity but it’s a just feet scene. If you turn off the volume and you didn’t know any better you would swear that van was tickling the actress.

Questions are obviously been asked....(Source).This  is for sure one the worst mystery I have ever seen  in Nollywood. The first part is about 2 hours   and felt like the movie was never ending . Question after question after question.  There is something that kept me watching the movie.How can they cast such A good actress as Mercy and kill her  from the movie about 40 minutes after ........ 

Spoilers: Don't read if you planning on wathing the movie.

Ok the first thing was the opening scene ( mercy anf Nonso) you can see the mike ) . Second flop , Mercy goes to the police to let them know what happenned not when it happened ( at night) but the next day ( Uhmmmmmm maybe she was not terrified after all ).Mercy told her hubby that she was attacked, he was not surprise nor did he cut his trip short to come home to his family.( common sense. Fourth Flop the police decided to give Mercy and her daughter 24 hours protection ( uhmmmm unless u are super rich and famous as far a I know in Nigeria or in Mali( my country ) the police don' t have time to take care of ordinary citizens ( Common Sense ). The funny thing is that the bad guy will give you better protection than the police. 40 minutes into this movie I did not know the story of the movie .The huband ( Nonso ) after finding out that his wife passed away he decided to hire a private investigator .When we first met him he was driving a car and for reason when he leaves Nonso's house he walks and at night Lol ...............
