The
movie starts with a double crossing which entails a gang stealing
a stolen loot from another unsuspecting gang. It's all serious
till we are introduced to the hilarious duo of Kolo and Dongila
who are two brothers struggling with poverty and who manage to
get entangled in a web of crime when they catch Chief Kakpor red
handed, trying to escape being caught by the husband of a married
woman he was sleeping with.
The Chief offers to give them a job in compensation for keeping
the matter secret and dropping the evidence. Unknown to Kolo and
Dongila, they were being roped into a dangerous circle that brought
them face to face with nasty characters and occurrences.
They encounter a lot in the hands of the chief and the deadly
(sexy?) assistant; Alexandra, who loves poisoning people.
Though
the story made sense but there were the usual blunders as many
Nigerian movies always have.
First, the title of the movie doesn't in any way fit the whole
story. It's the kind of title you'd give to a silly comedy and
this movie is not a comedy at all.
There were loose scenes not well tied together and scenes which
were unrealistic. For a gang, angry and crazy about loosing N2
million to Kolo and Dongila to let down their guard so easily
in way to have let them escape on two occasions is quite unrealistic.
The storyline was just too watered down.
The
graveyard scene where Kolo and Dongila tried to take money from
a coffin seems to be the only thing (though unrealistic) that
lived up to the name of the film; a corpse rising from the coffin
to demand why they want his money
how stupid can you get?
I'm
not sure if it the make-up was too much or it was intentional
or
rather that's how her skin looks but Chichi Amala's face looked
horrible with those purple cheek patches.
But
I'll say the Characters lived up to their roles.
Nkem Owoh and Okey Bakassi were the major spice of the movie and
were so good in their hilarious delivery that the tragic end of
the film would make you laugh rather than cry.
Chichi
Amala was convincing as the deadly Alex who loved to deceive and
poison people who stood in her way. Her kissing scene with Bavnani
was so serious, I'm sure she lost touch with make-believe and
drifted into reality.
Jide
Kosoko has always had that animated touch in his acting. He didn't
do badly as a villain either.
Lesson
to be learnt in the movie
the law of karma always catches
with every greedy, thieving and conniving individual.
