Title: PLAYER’S HEART (1 & 2)
Sequel: MARRIAGE CONNECTIONS (1 & 2)
Starring: John Dumelo, Mercy Johnson, Yul Edochie, Chika Ike
Synopsis:
A man must decide between listening to his heart or marrying the woman that his family prearranged for him.
Review:
Everyone wants a piece of JD. While one woman dumped her fiancé for him, another woman was determined to sleep with him. Is it JD that they wanted or was it his power and connections as the son of a senator?
When JD finally settled for a woman he was forced to deal with a new heap of problems.
Let’s Talk. This is a mixed bag of business, power, and betrayal. “Players Heart” starts off where everyone has slept with someone. The characters were well intertwined in a way that didn’t come off as contrived.
In the sequel the story turned into a royal family type saga where JD’s (John Dumelo) parents had prearranged a wife for him but of course he was in love with someone else.
Although we have seen this type of tale before, with prearranged marriages, etc. John Dumelo brought a certain pragmatic vibe to it that made it refreshing to watch. As a matter of fact, John Dumelo did a fantastic job playing JD in this film.
As for technical issues, video and sound were decent.
This story was stretched into four parts but wasn’t a drag. Please note that the sequel goes by two titles – “Marriage Connections” OR ‘Marriage Planner’ (ugh, these titles). RECOMMEND
