The Hand of Fate

1/12/2025

<em>'The Hand of Fate'</em> is obviously low quality and low budget, but to be honest I minorly enjoyed it, relatively speaking. The message of the film is positive and the story is told in a narrowly interesting enough way. Based on the opening scenes I was expecting this to be bad, though by the credits I was content with what I had just watched. The actors aren't the best, but again kind of make it work. Cornelius Gomez, despite playing an unlikeable character, gives a serviceable performance, he has a voice that is made for acting. Mariama Colley in the hallucination scene is exceptionally convincing. The film does fall off a bit at the end with a rogue chat show segment, c'est la vie. I'm probably being too generous with my rating, especially given the state of the audio quality
