Faithful Betrayal

Nigerian Movie Review
Faithful Betrayal
Story: Uchenna Mbunabo
Screenplay: Pascal Amanfo & Chinedu Ayanwu
Director: Ikechukwu Onyeka

Starring:
Genevieve Nnaji – Clara
Muna Obiekwe – Morgan
Alex Usifo – Obiama
Kofi Adjorlolo – David
Vivienne Achor _ Belinda
Scot Roberts – Uche
Michelle Ikegulu – Susan
Comfort Ogheoke – Maureen
Chosen Udo – Kate

MY RATING: 45%

Wow!!! Genny Genny… what a disappointment!

Heiwoooooo! Clara marries a man old enough to be her father very much against her family’s wishes. She feels duty bound to him as he saved her life. Not long after he becomes an invalid and she starts to feel a pity rather than a romantic love for him, and starts having an affair with someone her own age.

This is a load of trash.

There is an English girl in that plays a detective. This girl is beyond annoying. Her speech is horrible. Who thought it would be a good idea to even ALLOW her to act in another film? (She is on the bottom left hand side of the cover, second to left.) It was torturous watching her pause repeatedly in an effort to try and remember her lines. Trust me she is as wooden as a big fat… TREE. They had her saying Sir as if she were a broken record, knowing full well that she has a lisp and sounds dreadful! I found out that her name is Michelle Ikegulu. I also saw her in My Everlasting Love with Rukky Sanda, where she was just as awful. I just knoooooooooow she HAS to be somebody’s relative from England.

I would not recommend this movie. It was watchable but pointless and didn’t even end which means that there may well be a part 3 and more in the pipeline!

This movie wasn't bad but for me what was even more annoying than the British actress was the lack of continuity and consistency in naming (i.e. from Faithful Betrayal to Final Betrayal).

What exactly is going on in the industry? Are the distributors deliberately trying to dupe people into buying the same movie twice? All these name changes just cause confusion. They should be treating honest customers who are prepared to go out and buy genuine copies of their films better than this. It is not really acceptable.

Ah the movie was also called Final Betrayal? This repackacking bullshit has been going on for some time now.

Well I was sold three discs as the one movie, Faithful Betrayal one, Faithful Betrayal two and Final Betrayal. They continued on from one another as expected but the ending was rather abrupt. Even though Clara's sister, Morgan's friend and the dreadful detective had cottoned on to them no one was brought to justice. I'm wondering now if there should have been a part two of Final Betrayal?

Either way the situation is highly unsatisfactory. Why should these distributors expect the audiences to support them when they themselves behave so dishonestly?

That Michelle chick almost ruined the movie for me. Her voice/acting was as annoying and scratching a chalkboard with nails. This is the first Muna/Gene combo I haven't rewatched

Aarrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i cant stand that girl Susan - whachmacallit, whats her real name again Michele whatever her name is. Kai!!!!

i will pay her to stop acting.

WTF told her just cos she has a british accent she was a good actress. She is worse than Queen Nwokoye, Rukky Santa Claus plus Sophia Chikere put together.

Chei she is a horrible actress at best - I cant stand her voice, her accent everything about her acting irritates the fck outta me. I will fast forward (i wont even mute cos then i will still see her) every damn scene with her in it.

She needs to be banned from any filming location at least 100 feet.

chei did i say it already - if not let me say it again, the most horrible actress ever to emerge this 2008/9.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that british accent chick ruined the movie for me but for the love of Genevieve and Muna I still watched it.
To add insults to ingurie......I saw her again in The Love Doctor with Emeka Ike and Jackie Appiah. I wanted to crack the dvd.

She is the worst actress since Juliet Ibrahim.

I think the movie was nice...Genevieve always on point. Her sister did well too.
Muna.....great.
Alex Usifo....what can I say....perfect!
