Movie Review: Breath of Life

I was going around Twitter, and I have been seeing this movie around, but I never knew I had it among the movies I downloaded recently on my phone. This movie is titled "Breathe of Life.". This movie has been trending so much, but I just decided to check my gallery, and to my surprise, I saw it, decided to watch it, and thought to give a review about it today.

Breath of Life was released in the year 2023 not long ago, and I believe it is part of the movie that will entertain the audience for the rest of the year because of its attractive storyline. This movie was directed by BB Sasore and written by Bibi Sasore. This movie contains the genres of drama, love, romance, rage, comedy, faith, and lots more.

About the movie

This movie talks about a man named Mr. Timi, whose name is Wale Ojo. He was a vibrant pastor known around the town for his faith and trust in God and how he made people happy, both the young and the old. His wife and only daughter were killed in a brutal attack that was between Wale Ojo and the baby fire, who is a notorious killer who has terrorized the town.

This attack was triggered by the way Mr. Timi stood to testify against him in court, but the court could not penalize the baby fire because there was no evidence, and then he went after Wale Ojo and his family. After the deaths of his wife and daughter, he tried to kill himself several times, but he did not die. He became too full of rage and very brutal, and he lived with his scar for about 30 years before Elijah came into his life to be his house manager.

Things were never the same till Elijah came in, and he had to manage and cope with the way of life of Mr. Timi until he saw him smile. This story touched my heart so well, and it was so entertaining because every part of it passed a message while you watched it. Some of the cast members that made this movie easy to watch are Wale Ojo as Timi; Chimezie Imo as Elijah; Genoveva as Anna; Tina Mba as Mama Ayo; Eku Edewor as Bridget; and so on.

Talking about the movie's visuals, I give big kudos to the director because the images are so clean and lovely to watch. The capturing is so captivating, and that alone catches the mind when you watch. The movie lasted for close to 2 hours, and I sat down to watch it because it was not boring from the beginning to the end of it.

Also, how the flashbacks were shown made us so happy and interested. It got to a point when Elijah had to play it from a projector for Mr. Timi to watch, and he was never going to watch his family cry again, but instead, he would tell Elijah stories about them and other related stories.

I love every scene in the movie, and some of the most spectacular things I love about it are the parts where Mr. Timi can avenge the deaths of his wife and child by killing the baby fire himself and trying to kill himself, but he doesn't die.

The shortcoming in the movie, which I believe is a normal thing for everything in this world, is how Mr. Timi got into Baby Fire's house when it was not stated that he used voodoo or the doors were opened. I feel it should have been stated in the movie, or probably a flashback of how it happened.

Rating this movie, I would give it an 8 out of 10.

Overall, the movie is very captivating and also a lovely one, which I can recommend to someone to watch if they are a lover of Nollywood movies. This movie will make you think while you watch it, and after watching it, it will still make you think about the movie because it will give you a lasting memory of it. I hope you will be able to decide if you want to watch the movie or not with this review I made.
