Movie Review – PATHETIC
This week it was a case of getting to the cinema and really wanting to see a movie to while away time and easy off the work stress and on getting there at the time I did, there was really nothing fantastic showing, so I asked the lady about the movie PATHETIC and she said it was ok, so I decided to take the chance on this one and believe me I don’t think that this was a very good idea, as I was so upset at the end of this movie, seriously I kept asking myself what I was still doing in the cinema, am so sorry but it was as pathetic as the title, one more question what was the reason behind the title, because the movie also didn’t reveal anything in regards to the title at all.
The 1hr 50mins movie featured acts like Bimbo Akintola, Wole Ojo, Dayo Amusa, Toyin Abraham, Funsho Adeolu, Taiwo Okunlola, Toyin Alausa and many more. The movie talked
about a star and how she managed her marriage with stardom.
Pathetic started on a good note so I thought as it featured the renowned actress Bimbo Akintola whom so many love and would be happy to watch again and again, but this was very far from being one of her good movies, the movie started with revealing to us how successful she was as a Star and how she sacrificed a lot to make her marriage work. Unfortunately for her she had no clue that her husband was HIV positive as he had chains of girlfriends outside their matrimonial home. So one evening she found the pills and wanted to confront him from his usual late night hanging out, he got angry and banged her head on the wall, guess what my Bimbo was dead, at first he though she was joking until he saw it was real, he panicked and as the maid approached him, he killed her also so he could concede the truth. Immediately Bimbo died so early in the movie I knew it was over, it was too early for someone I thought was the lead actor to go off the scenes so early. Well the rest of the movie was about him, trying to convince the police that he was innocent till they found the CCTV memory card that got missing from him revealing how he kill his wife and the maid.
To my verdict this movie deserves a 4/10 it wasn’t good for me at all, so many things were wrong with it, the use of the same words and some scenes so many times, poor audio and
casting, I felt there were some disjoints in between the acts and the roles chosen, the storyline didn’t cut it at all for me, there were a lot of mistakes and some scenes didn’t add up, I kept wondering at the end why the police didn’t go into the house to save the girl after she called knowing fully the kind of man they were dealing with. I was so upset and angry that I had to see this movie.
I am not sure I would want to recommend this movie, but if you do enjoy it please feel free to send us your verdict.
