Synopsis:

A night of sex between two strangers turns into a night of disaster when they try to dispose of a dead body.

Review:

Kofo (Bukky Wright) married her husband because of his wealth. Besides the fact that she didn’t love him, he couldn’t give her children. She was unhappy in the marriage and it led to infidelity.

She hired Freddie (Uti Nwachukwu) to make love to her while her husband was away on business.  Conflict set in when her husband returned while Freddie was still in the house. 

The two men fought and Kofo’s husband was accidentally killed in the struggle. This left Kofo and Freddie in a predicament as they scrambled to get rid of the body. 

Let’s Talk. This is a drama about a rich, bored, housewife that conspired to get rid of her husband. It turned out that Kofo planned to have her husband catch her with another man hoping that the two men would eliminate each other.

The story really began when they were stuck in the house with a corpse and the police were sniffing around her house because her gateman was arrested earlier in a separate incident. 

When the detective initially entered Kofo’s house to investigate her gateman’s ordeal he noticed blood on the rug. He sensed something was wrong but had no idea that someone just died in the home. What’s strange was that the detective was able to obtain a search warrant based on a hunch. 

When the detective arrived at a later time to search Kofo’s home again, he informed her that he couldn’t discuss why the search was being conducted. Huh? What kind of crap is that? How could the police search a home and not tell the owner why? At that point, Kofo’s husband wasn’t reported as missing and a body had not been found so what valid reason did he have to search the house? Furthermore, if Kofo knew she was hiding a dead body then why did she keep answering the door?

At some point in the story, Freddie cleaned the house of blood and hid the body in a portable freezer. Of course the detective wanted to look in the freezer and when he did so the body magically disappeared.

It turned out that Freddie moved the body from the freezer to the trunk of the car. Really? How convenient. Freddie was able to carry that huge body to the trunk all by himself? With all the police swarming around the house? How come no one saw him?

Here’s why the story made no sense. Kofo wanted to get rid of her husband. Her lover for hire killed him by accident. Bingo! It was an accident. All she had to do was report it to the police and mission accomplished. She’s rid of her husband. Even if she orchestrated the whole thing she wasn’t the one that killed him. The whole ordeal with them hiding the body and lying to the police was uncalled for and silly.

Long story short, the story just didn’t connect. It wasn’t compelling, captivating, or even believable. Even the scene where Kofu’s husband unexpectedly arrived while Freddie was still in the house didn’t create the sense of urgency that it should have. 

To go even further, the chemistry between Kofo and Freddie was non-existent. They were two people who got together for a night of sex and he was supposed to be her young stud. There should of been at least some sort of heat between them, after all the title of the movie is called “Red-Hot.” Talk about a mismatch. Kofo actually had more chemistry with her husband. 

As for acting, the only person worth watching was Bimbo Manuel, who played the detective. Too bad the story didn’t match his talent. 

If you haven’t seen this movie, don’t bother wasting your time. It felt like a fake crime drama and the story was second rate. EJECT
