DeleteSaw this film when it premiered and it was really crap. They kept people waiting for ages. Film started just before or after midnight so people were tired as they had been waiting since around 7pm. Film started and acting was poor. Eniola B did a decent job. All in all, film was a waste of time! Poor acting from the director.
ReplyDeleteOn a positive note, her outfit choices were spot on including the one worn to premier!
Ok
