Movie Review:Dark Side

I had seen Bayo Alawiye's movie 'IJA OKAN' War of Hearts many years ago and i had not been following his productions so i was looking forward to seeing Dark Side when it was part of the movies Africamagic was showing this month .The day it was to be shown as advertised it wasn't and i kept checking my movie schedule to see when it will be shown and boom i saw it  slated today and waited patiently and hoping not to be disappointed and waste my time.
The movie revolves around a young man Bankole Awala(Bayo Alawiye) whose best friend Kayode Johnson(Joseph Benjamin) had been sleeping with his wife Deola Awala(Sylvia Udeogu) behind his back .A mysterious accident leaves Bankole blind and by the time he regained his sight he decided not to let his adulterous wife and friend know and continued acting blind to continue to see their treachery.He put up the same act with his staff at the office till he was warned by the blind man (Nobert Young) whom he helped at the beginning of the movie to stop playing God.
Bayo resurrected from the dead as his wife's plan to kill him did not materialise, He had a  plan  with Sheila Edwards (Uru Eke) who was an accomplice to the murder plan but was working for Bayo .Deola's  reason   for trying to  kill  Bayo  was  that   she never loved him married him because her father was indebted to the Awalas.An angry Bayo brings out a gun and shot Deola!

And then the big one i didn't  coming  the previous scenes had been a trance!The Blind man took Bayo through what will happen if he did not follow his heart.(I didn't  have a clue at all!)
The Plot is obviously beautiful intriguing and suspense, filled acting was very good( though the waka pass (minor role) office staff didn't impress me)The soundtrack is also nice.
When Bayo met with Sheila in his car to tell her to forget about them having an affair visuals should have been dimmer to separate and look different from the present day and i found Bankole's face too shiny in some scenes.A little 'pancake" powder would have made it better.
My take on the movie patapata (overall) is that it is worth your time and a very good one.The movie might not be on high budget but still did not  deliver beautiful nonsense(I still watch them like that because of my 'loff' love for Nollywood) . Bayo Alawiye didn't fall my hand!hehehhehehe.
