I agree with you about the Majid and Genny chemistry. When they get together it is just magical. Thanks for reading… I agree with you about the Majid and Genny chemistry.

The scene in the Abjua hotel room would have been outstanding, but the sound engineer/editor seriously let them down, because you are pretty much forced to make up the dialog for yourself. However, the director, script-writer and actors are at their absolute best here. Gene and Majid's body language and chemistry is so natural - totally convincing, with none of the over-acting we usually tolerate. You can see Neto's heart breaking as Jessie makes it clear to him that nothing more can ever happen between them.... (Although I agree that Geneivieve seems to holds back from Majid in other scenes when she could have shown a bit more passion for his character.) Despite all the serious flaws in this movie mentioned elsewhere in this thread, it's definitely one to watch. The rating was very fair.

I could not believe that I was all for the secret affair between <i>Jesse</i> and <i>Naeto</i>… Gosh! that must be the evil part of me rearing its head… For me, <i>Jesse</i> and <i>Naeto</i>’s love situation, was an unfinished affair. <i>Naeto</i>genuinely loved <i>Jesse</i>. As for <i>Naeto</i> wanting to marry <i>’Ella’</i> …I believe that was <i>Naeto</i>settling when he was unable to get the woman he fell in love with – <i>Jesse</i>. We’ve all been there & done that…inclusive moi! Thanx Nolly for the review Prior to watching SS…used to watch ‘The Proposal’ (American – staring Sarah Bullock) almost everyday (plz don’t ask me why…just go figure)

Anyways, SS torn me from my former love…I was captivated by the almost perfect acting, the chemistry between Genevieve & Majid (Love them together), the suspense…most especially, THE SCANDAL!!!

I could not believe that I was all for the secret affair between Jesse and Naeto…
Gosh! that must be the evil part of me rearing its head…

For me, Jesse and Naeto’s love situation, was an unfinished affair. Naetogenuinely loved Jesse.
As for Naeto wanting to marry ’Ella’ …I believe that was Naetosettling when he was unable to get the woman he fell in love with – Jesse.
We’ve all been there & done that…inclusive moi!

Thanx Nolly for the review

Nice movie with a very good picture quality and an excellent cast Genny,Majid,Chelsea,Ebele Okaro and Uche Jombo not forgeting the gateman.(he was soo funny) I think the ending was ok since people say nollywood movies are always predictable(don’t agree though) so now they end it in a way you wont expect.

Never the less it is still one to watch out for! It could have been perfect if just a few niggles were ironed out and the sound was imporved. Never the less it is still one to watch out for!

I mean to say I still went out to get it @ 76%. I love Tell-it-like-it-is's comment about Jenny and Muna in He Lives Within Me (1 of my favourites). But I guess its more like who you feel more comfortable with the more 'tonsil tennis action' will occur. Back to Silent Scandal ... again I must say a good watch. Poor sound quality, my ear was nearly on meh tv's sound output for some parts. A lot of unanswered questions but since movie had a moving story line we can let those go. I got the dressed like a Taliban/bomb joke in the end but I didnt get where he faked his death. A little more film could of been sourced there instead of on Naeto and Ella playing around. Ummm, and this is only my opinion here but I dont think the high-top hairstyle on Majid makes him look attractive ... Nolly I agree with your rating … I mean to say I still went out to get it @ 76%.
