Needless to say that I had never heard about this 2021 Nigerian comedy titled "Ponzi", as I stumbled upon it here in 2022. And believing in giving a movie that I haven't already seen a fair chance, of course I sat down to watch what writers Joshua Obayan and Toluwani Obayan had to offer.
"Ponzi" was a difficult movie to sit through, as the storyline was slow paced and sort of rather uneventful. So the movie felt prolonged and taking forever to go nowhere. And that hardly constitutes being entertaining in my book. So "Ponzi" fell short of providing me with entertainment. In fact, I didn't even endure the movie to the end, as I just simply found no enjoyment in the storyline at all.
The acting in the movie was actually fair enough, despite the fact that the storyline didn't provide me with entertainment or enjoyment. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble here, but there were some fair performances here and there.
I am sure that there is an audience out there for director Kayode Kasum's movie. I just happened not to be a part of that particular target audience. And this is not a movie that I will be returning to attempt to finish watching.
My rating of "Ponzi" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
