Title: THE REAL SUSPECT (1 & 2)

Starring: Jackie Appiah, Mary-Jane Okoye, Calista Okoronkwo

Synopsis: 

Someone carries out a string of murders leaving the police stumped.

Review:

This is a senseless murder drama told in flashback scenes that are all over the place. In addition to flashbacks, there are numerous subtitles indicating the time of day as though the audience is really supposed to keep track of the numerous events happening a various times. 

When the credits roll at the end of this movie, Jackie Appiah’s name is spelled JackiA Appiah instead of JackiE Appiah. Sigh…

Performances are okay, the story just wasn’t the best. EJECT
